problem. I can't imagine why you, or your next-owner buyer, if any,
would even want to consider having an airplane with the wrong offset,
because at the very least, you'd have to compensate with lot of
balancing trim (if even possible) creating a lot of unnecessary,
unwanted drag, and significantly reducing the performance of the
airplane. If anybody on the list thinks that having the completely
wrong offset is not a big (bad) deal, I'll eat my hat, or something
else inedible. :-)
Given that, your question sort of begs the elephant-in-the-living-room
question that may have a lot of people scratching their heads like me,
namely, how could a desire to change to an engine with a truly
non-std. rotation, at this stage in the project, be important enough
to justify having to re-do such a lot of work?
My three cents.

So I have a bit of a dilemma. When building I had intentions of putting a
Lyco on the front, so installed the tail fin with a 3 degree deflection. I
have now decided to install an engine with a prop that spins in the opposite
direction. So you see the dilemma. My preference is to not relocate the tail
fin, but if the consensus is that the 3 degree offset will cause significant
handling issues, I guess I have some work to do.
Any thoughts ?
