Default RE: Brian Taylor OS2U Kingfisher Build

A quick question. On the plans it shows to offset the vert fin and rudder to counteract thrust. I know there is no right or down thrust on the firewall. Has anyone built this plane and not used the offset or would most recommend putting it in like the plans say? I have built the stab, vert fin, and rudder and will be posting pics. I will start on the main float so I can set up the attach points and the linkage for the water rudder. I will be doing the linkage like the Charlie Smith plans recommend which is down through the rear float pylon.
