font-family:Arial'>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><o:p></o:p></p>
