--> RV8-List message posted by: "George Inman" <ghinman@mts.net>
How close does the engine thrustline have
to match the cabin longerons?
My engine thrustline is about one degree downward
compared to the cabin longerons.
If it was one degree upward I would not worry about
it since the engine might sag that much.
Is there anyone flying with one degree down.?

George,
Down thrust is a GOOD THING! It is designed into many airplanes. Having
some Downthrust minimizes the Pitch Change with Power Level Changes. I have
2 Degrees Down and 2 Degrees Right Thrust.

Not sure on the "down thrust" angle for an RV-8 but take a look at the next
RV-.05 (better known as an Aircoupe) you see. VERY distinct down angle.
