Default Engine Thrust Angles

IMHO...2deg. right and 2deg down never hurt any bipe! Of course the entire aircraft is dependent on degrees of this or that. Upper wing is 0 degrees and the lower wing is 1+, or is it the other way around. Is the stab along for the ride at 0 degrees or is it set to 1+ ?

Also check to make sure that you have a couple of degrees toe-in on your wheels along with the right and down thrust. With all this you should end up with a great handling Biplane.

It all depends on what the designer had in mind when it came to stability and ground handling.

Best of Luck with the New Bird!
