Hello:


I'm getting the parts together for a spad and would like to know how everyone is mounting there engines. Do you mount it with some thrust to the right ?? or just straight??:confused:

Thanks

I always mount mine straight. More than half the time it works out just fine. Once in awhile I can tell I need some right thrust. I only put in about 1 degree. That does the trick.

I have built 4 spads. The engines were mounted stright. All few just fine.

I agree, built a bunch of SPADS, ALL straight, although on the WW I planes we could use alittle right, no big deal though, just need to lean on the rudder a little on take offs..just my $.02.....
