<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=937290012-29082006>I'm trying to come
up with an easy way to measure the right thrust in my airplane. The seemingly
simple way ,for me anyway, has been to measure from the elev hinge line to
the prop tip with the prop level. With a 17" prop from the elev comes out
to be 1" total difference from one side to the other. So I drew a line
8.5" at the end of the line another line @ 90 degrees I put a dot at
1/2" making a tirangle. Then I used my digital level, I don't have a protractor
handy, and came up with almost 5 degrees of right thrust. This airplane acts
like it needs more right thrust as it's carrying a bit of right rudder trim and
at high throttle I need a bit more. This is a YS1.60 on a 17x12 APC. Is this
near right? All the posts on RCU seem to be around 3 degrees. Is this a correct
way to get the measurement correctly? Perhaps someone has a better way?
Thanks</SPAN></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
