Right thrust and the U-Can-Do 60
On the Tower Hobbies website there is a kit review of the UCD 60.
The reviewer states that the firewall does not have the required built in right thrust and that the motor mount is not offset to the left to center the prop shaft in the cowling if right thrust is used.
In the review he mentions shimming the left side of the mount at the firewall and offsetting the motor in the mount to keep things centered up.
Has anyone else that has put one of these together found this necessary?
Thanks!

RE: Right thrust and the U-Can-Do 60
Yes, do it. If you don't put in some right thrust, it's always going to pull HARD to the left in your verticals. And forget about hovering accuratley without right thrust.
