With my 46 FX no right thrust was required. When I switched to the Saito 72 it was mandatory. I added 1 washer..how ever many degrees that is.

Im asking because when i point the nose up it wants to pull left.
I also use a MDS 46 (dont laugh it runs good)
Would right help me?
I also notice most people are hovering the topcap alittle foward.
It seems to me mine hovers better leaning back alittle.
Any ideas?

chris, I always put 2 washers under the front to eng mounting holes, who knows I might could live without it. I just do it, give it a shot. Need to find somebody that can make some shems out of aluminum and buy them in bulk....Gator

You should start by adding about 2 degrees of right thrust, a washer or two on the front mounting bolts is what most guys use...

If you can use some larger washers to cover more area because the little ones seem to just sink into the wood rails...
