Default RE: 50cc Edge V2 has landed

I was just trying to get a laugh...sorry.

I'm actually doing pretty well. I've got the engine mounted, all the hinges mounted and sealed, the canopy is installed, the cowl cut, and I've got the cannister installed. I think that's pretty much the hardest stuff. I've got to mount all the servos, landing gear and radio. Then balance and fly. I really should have it ready by next Saturday for the maiden.

Question? My firewall only has about 1/16" difference from the left to the right. Is that enough RH thrust? The engine is almost centered when I centered it in the cowl. I would guess approximately 1* of RH thrust. That seems less than most other planes I've seen. Is that about right for this plane?

Other than that, I'm very impressed with the build. It's been fun and I'm just taking it easy and making sure everything is right.

Thanks,
Barry
