Default Eagle 2 Downthrust

Thanks for your responses. Their are now a couple thin washers under the engine. It will be interesting how the Eagle handles. I didn't go into ground handling on takeoff before. At first I advanced the throttle too fast and it would head right like a beetle and sometimes would not rotate. I finally learned to advance to a little above half throttle and she took off beautifully. Rather than right I usually hold a bit of left rudder. Kind'a a "P" factor but on the opposite side due to the down thrust. The blade on the left from the tail was a really high pitch on the ground. Maybe now it will be more "normal"? Don't get me wrong she flies great and is stable..just had to adjust.
