Default RE: setting engine thrust ?

Instead of doing the math, I just use a cheap protractor and draw the angle on a piece of paper using the actual prop size. Then measure the distance from prop tips to the wing leading edge on the drawing and transfer the measurements to the airplane. Works well for me, but downthrust is a different story. I use a bubble levels and angle scales for that.
