The 1 deg down is easily measured off the spinner back plate using a smart level after the aircraft is leveled and I'm sure if have that correctly positioned. The 1 deg to the copilots side is more difficult to accurately position. This is what I did and I hope someone who's done it could comment and set me in the right direction if need be. I measured from the mounting bolts holding the turbine ring to the engine mount to the very tip of the spinner back plate. I believe this to be the pivot point of the engine. Based on this measurement I calculated the 1 deg to be about 11/16" to the right. I measured 11/16" from the center line of the fuselage and adjusted the engine position to that point. Is this the best way to properly position the engine? Is the 1 deg down / 1 deg right the position others are using? Thanks in advance, Joe Trepicone IVPT ------=_NextPart_000_0023_01C3FAE3.4BEF73D0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
