Gents, Computer Added Measurement

Now we, of Classic RC Pattern Flying, are on the same (sub)level as RC Pattern Flying it is important to show the world we also do have interesting stuff, so; “How many side thrust were they running?”
(See: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=9558918 )

Part two of the side thrust of the K & B 45 RC in the Oldest Taurus on Earth.

Description:
After relocating the engine more backwards in the Oldest Taurus on Earth Hanna Approved Cat Version (rev1!), I could compare the side thrust for the first time.
(The engine is not exactly on the right position yet, see the bleu dashes.)
The “degrees dashes” with the right scaling, are integrated in the Hanna Cat drawing, the yellow line is made on the crate picture and indicates the engine “out of line” position.
The two white squares are important to have the yellow line of the engine in the centre of the Cat CAM degrees scaling. They must be symmetrical positioned around the yellow line as showed.

Results
Any down thrust is not (yet!!) measurable, the engine seems to be “in line” with the top axle.
After positioning the Oldest Taurus on Earth Approved Cat Version on the right location in the crate, we can read between 3,5 and 4 degrees side thrust!
