That means you built the fuse crooked. The right direction:)

I have zero engine offset and no rudder trim tab and it flies straight ahead.

I fretted over this, but set it up for straight ahead, just in case I
changed to an O-200 later. I small trim tab on the rudder compensated
for it, and I was happy with that. You'll need the trim tab
anyway...but it might have more of an angle in it, which still isn't
much. I wouldn't worry about it...

I mulled over the same question for my O-200 and came up with exactly the same 
answer.  The engine is mounted straight and I have a very small amount of trim 
set in the tab on the rudder.  Just the opposite direction from Mark's Corvair.

hi guys,
What is the experience from the people who are flying with 110 hp Or more?
Should I do 3 degrees offset or is there no reason to do this?
Thanks Stef



KR> Engine offset advice sought

2011-03-21 Thread Martin Pearce
How do you measure and set engine offset please?



The KR2 that I recently bought from Canada has a clockwise rotating
propeller (viewed from the cockpit) driven by a Subaru EA81 via a Redrive.
The rudder trim tab indicates that right rudder is needed to trim the a/c
and the rh brake linings were considerably more worn than the left. These
facts seem to indicate that I am likely to need a fair bit of right rudder
work on my first flight in a few weeks time and I wondered if it was easy to
measure and perhaps adjust the offset a little?



Regards

Martin
