<p>According to Roger at Zenith, they do not specify any vertical distance between the thrust line and the top of the longerons.</p>
<p>I am planning to place the center of the propeller on the center line of the plane and in the horizontal plane through the top of the longerons.</p>
<p>My Corvair engine will be mounted on the motor mount to give an angle of 1 degree between the thrust line of the engine and the center line of the plane in the horizontal plane and half a degree pointing…</p>

<p>This in line with WW's proven and tested practice. </p>

<p>Did you build your own engine mount or did you have it built? Thanks John</p>

hi blaine also depends on your engine rotation,im using a corvair in the 701 and my thrust line angle is like joe says 3 degrees but opposite of the rotax if anything call the factory they are the best tech advisers hope this helps

<p>Blaine,</p>
<p>I'm wondering if you are asking what angle the engine is offset to one side.<br/>I didn't realize this was a common practice until I saw my 701 plans.</p>
<p>The propeller flange is directly on the aircraft centerline, and the rear of the engine is offset toward the left wing at an angle of 3 degrees.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
