I'm in the process of assembling a Tiger Stick 40 to fly as my 2nd plane. I'm installing an OS 46 FXi on it an I'm wondering what I should use for the optimum right and down thrust angles. The manual suggests up to 2 degrees right angle but makes no mention of down angle thrust. Opinions of the guys at the club are all over the map on this one so some good advise would be appreciated.

Red ... everyone has an opinion right? Hahahahaa ... let's keep it simple. Just add a couple of washers for the RIGHT THRUST. Then leave the down thrust as it is. Fly her and find out. Most of the times, the recommended thrust angles are in insufficient. So just use the recommended figures as a baseline.

I built my Tiger Stick 40 stock and flew it with a .46 FXi. The down thrust and right thrust are built into the firewall and I didn't have to shim the motor mount at all to get the desired results.



My advise is to build it straight from the manual and test fly it before adding any additional right thrust or down thrust. Get ready for a very enjoyable flying experience!
