Adding right-thrust/down-thrust to model
I just placed an order for a CG Super Chipmunk and various accessories. Among these accessories was a one-piece pre-tapped OS engine mount for my OS FS-91 Surpass II four stroke. I've read that the Chipmunk requires some right-thrust and possibly some down-thrust. Do I have to be able to drill custom off-center holes in the engine mount to add the right-thrust, or is it set by the angle of the firewall? I'm asking because I'd cancel the OS engine mount order if its not going to be able to give me the required right-thrust (since the mount holes are pre-drilled).
TIA.
TIA.

Just use the firewall for right thrust and shim in the down. Use the mount, I have used predrilled mounts before. They shure do make mounting engines simpler.

I have had a couple of Carl Goldberg Chipmunks in the past with OS91FS.
I don't recall having to add any spacers or make any modifications but just follow the instructions.
These are excellent flying planes, - like most if not all Carl Goldberg planes
