The guy at my field sggested that I put my engine on a little crooked so my plane wont pull to the right as much, Is he right and do you have any opinions on doing this?

Thanks, Dave Trimmer

yes, use a couple of washers under the mount. Works like a charm!

If you ever look closely at the scale aerobatics planes in the 35-44% range, you will see that the engine is mounted around 1 1/2 - 2 degrees off center.

Offset thrust is common in RC airplanes. Some designs have it built right into the firewall others you can add a couple of washers or a shim.

Is that Right thrust or Left thrust ?? I use Right thrust in my 1/4 Patty. Are smaller birds different ?

I believe Dave has another problem if he needs Left thrust .

Most planes will use right thrust. and also some down thrust too.
