Default H9 1/4 scale CAP 232 engine thrust angle

Hello,

I have taken the suggestion to use the cowling as a guide in mounting the ST 3000 inverted on my CAP. Much to my surpise it was very fast an easy and I now have the holes marked for the engine mount.

Since I am using this large engine and will be using a large prop, 18X10 - 20X6, I was wondering if I should shift the egine left and add some right thrust. How much, if any, right thrust are others adding to their CAPs?

TIA for your help.

Hey GalenB
This plane has the thrust built into the fire wall already!
