I know, that's a big problem, as well as your manners. You always feel offended and fantasize questions that are not asked. Thanks anyway, and a good maiden flight for your Easter Taurus!

Just to give you a hint: Your assumption of 7 to 8 degrees side thrust is fantasy, of course not found in any plan or on the real plane. Your own picture in #432 shows the engine mount built for about 4.5 deg as specified in the RCM&E plan, while the imprints of the engine flanges show about half as much, about 2.25 deg as specified in the MAN plan. Ed himself told that he made use of the play between mounting holes and smaller bolts to adjust side thrust. If you don't go into that you raise questions.
