This will have very little to do with RVs, but John Dyke specifies 2/3rd
of one degree right thrust on the Dyke Delta. That is hinged at the
prop flange. He also specifies 1.5 degree upthrust, but that is hinged
at the firewall.
Bobby, a better way to measure the offset is to break out the old
geometry book and calculate the offset. The sin(1.25)x47" is 1.02". The end of the engine will move off center by a long inch. You won't be
able to read 1/4 degree on most protractors, but an inch is easy to make
out.
