When a plan calls for putting right thrust in the firewall is this looking at the nose or looking from the cockpit. I am assuming that looking at the nose you would bring the left side out. Is my thinking correct.

Always assume that you are sitting in the cockpit.

Top view of airplane, standing in the cockpit, the back of the motor would be left of center line, the front of the motor would be on the center line. Right thrust.

Hope that makes sence.

Tony,
Most aircraft don't have the headroom to stand in the cockpit.

Dennis;
Your absolutely right.

But if I had said top view the left/right thing is in question again.

I just hope kidkadet figures out that you want the prop shaft to come out on the center line and not to the right of center line.

Hope this all makes sense.
