Relative to what? Top of engine case to canopy rails? You level reads
out to the closest 0.05 degree increment? i.e. 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 degrees?

Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Engine thrust angle
I bought a digital level that is accurate to .05 degrees. Here are
the results of a few planes. All measurements in degrees down; i.e.,
down thrust angle.
Tiger 86M: .7 degrees
Tiger 6FT: .3 degrees
Tiger 747: .3 degrees
Tiger 57V: .15 degrees
Traveler 89L: .4 degrees
Traveler 62U: .35 degrees
RV4: 0 degrees.
Note: ALL aircraft appeared to have the cowling aligned with the
spinner.

OK, I'll try to clarify.
When I say, "All measurements in degrees down; i.e., down thrust angle." I mean
the down thrust angle from 0 degrees. (if you wish, Google 'down thrust angle'
for a more complete description including pictures on some web sites.)
For example: if Tiger 86M were all leveled out and a level was placed on the
engine, it would read 0.7 degrees down. Hence, the statement, "All measurements
in degrees down; i.e., down thrust angle."
I hope that helps.
Yes, when I said the accuracy was .05 degrees, that means .00, .05, .10, .15,
.20, .25, . . . . . .95, 1.00 (where 1.00 means 1 degree)
