hello I have elec motor and thought that the motor needed to be angled to the left to compensate for the right rotation but after flying today I'm not so sure. As you look down on the plane nose pointing away how should the motor be pointing? Thanks

Right thrust is normal. Sounds like you put in left thrust. The amount will vary from plane to plane; some do not have any built in, others may have as much as four degrees.
I'm guessing that the plane you're talking about is no larger than a speed 400 size, so two degrees should be plenty to start.

I think rafter is right but I think he is looking at the airplane from the front end. His left thrust is OUR right thrust. Rafter, airplane convention is to look at everything as if you are sitting inside the airplane. So if you are looking at the nose of the airplane from the rear and you still saying left thrust then its wrong.
