I'm in the middle of building a Hots from the original plans. Has anybody added right thrust to the engine? If so, is it necessary on this plane. I planned on giving it a couple degrees.

I've had 5 or 6 Hots' through the years and have always attempted to build the nose as squarely as possible. They fly great with everything at 0/0/0.

I've had a couple that have needed a little thrust line adjustment to tweak their flying habits due to inaccurate installation of the firewall but I've never used side thrust on them.

If I were building another, and I will after I break this one, I'd build it as square as possible and adjust as needed after flying it.
