Default RE: Mounting an engine requiring right thrust

There are two ways to do this. The first is mathematical. Take the distance from the prop washer to the fire wall, and multiply it by the sine of the offset angle (sine 2 degrees =.035)

The second is to draw a plan view and draw a line from the prop washer back at an angle of 2 degrees and measure the distance from where this line intersects the firewall to wher the centerline intersects.
