RE: Engine up and down thrust
Your problem may not be the engine. It could be the the wing incidence or the stabalizer is not mounted correctly. As for the engine, it could be mounted with some up in it, which would cause the plane to climb. You might want to get an incidence meter and check everything. If you are only dialing in a little down trim, you may just want to not worry about it and fly. Good Luck, Dave
