I have a TF P51 ARF and want to put an Evolution 58 in the plane but was wondering does the plane have a right thurst built into it or do I have to add washers? Also since the mounting bolt pattern all ready on the firewall is different than the Evolution 58 pattern is there an easy way to find the center line?
Thanks, Tom

Right thrust is over-rated. Most of the better scale builders I know don't bother with it. Down thrust is ok for the Mustang; the prototype had it; so much the better for the model. The TF plane probably does have it (right thrust) built in (should be apparent from looking at the firewall. Also if the engine mounting holes are 0ffset to the left side, it's a dead give away that it has right thrust.

Just find the midway point between the left and right mounting holes; that's your centerline.

tpc3,
I to have been thinking of using the Evolution 58 in my TF ARC. Since I don't have a 58 yet I was wandering if you checked to see if it fits within the cowl? How about the muffler?


Thanks
Mike
