Engine offset?
 
Hi all, this is my first post, but I've been reading most of the posts here, and I've seen a lot of talk about tourque rolls. Has anyone tried setting their engine on a slight camber to couteract the torque of the engine and the lift differential of the prop? If so, did it work to lessen the effects?

Thanx, Darren

Most aerobatic planes have 2 or 3 degrees of right thrust in the design. It would be interesting to fly one with the engine straight to see how much difference it made. Unfortunatly the cowl is also angled were it meets the spinner backplate and would interfer. Keep on posting. later daveo
