I hear your pain Rusty. I have offsets in both my engine mount and vertical stab. I'm a RD-1B guy forevermore.

Well, 'bout ready to place my order for my Monster 76/88 prop from
Performance Propellers. Tracy's is 74/88 but he feels that with the 2.85
even longer diameter props can be accommodated. If too much prop, Clark
Lydick will trim the diameter. So will ship my RD-1B to Tracy to have it
converted to a 2.85 RD-1C after I finish attending a couple more flyins in
May. Hard to get his "vertical" take off out of my mind.

Do you have a left offset in your mount? I sure wish I didn't, but it
seemed like a good idea at the time. Now I just can't stomach the
monumental re-work that would be required to go back to zero offset.
Rusty (hoping Tracy's old prop will make me feel better)
