Re: right and down thrust calculation
Hi Mick,
I put in around 3 degrees down and maybe 2 degrees right if the prop is on the tip of the nose. If there's a spinner my priority is to make it conform with the contours of the nose rather than specific thrust angles. Any tendency to rear up on power can then be mixed out with down elevator.
Hope this helps,
Rog
