Hi All
The Proseal Gods were with me when I sealed my tanks several years ago!
Finally got around to leak checking with fuel and only leak was the threads
in one of the drain flanges. Mounted my engine to begin its lengthy hookup.
Can anyone remember which way the nose of the engine is offset for the
optimum thrust alignment with the fuse? With even shimming, the nose of
the
engine is pointing about 1-2 degrees to the right side. It is also level
with the fuse floor. I remember that the down blade produces more thrust
than the up blade, so having the up blade a bit forward ballances things a
bit?? Right?? Shudn't the nose also be up 1-2 degrees? Thanks
