KF 5 engine angle
Missing in my builders manual is the FWF section, which I assume discusses the engine angle with reference to the firewall.
I'm mounting the Yamaha RX-1 with a C box, which turns a Left hand prop as does a 2 stroke Rotax.
Best reference I have so far is zero angle up/down and 4 degrees to the left. Anyone have better info?
Thanks,
Brett

Re: KF 5 engine angle
The FWF section comes with the FWF kit that you get. I don't recall anything about engine offsets in the Lycoming FWF manual for my Series 5. Doesn't look like there is any offset by looking at it. Best bet is probably to call Kitfox and ask.

Thanks Jeff, yeah visually looking at the original motor (subaru) I could not detect any angle either.

Re: KF 5 engine angle
My model IV had a heck of a pull to the left so my right foot was falling asleep on long flights. (no trim tab) I added four spacer washers to the engine to offset the pull and had no effect. Maybe that trick works on bigger engines and props but in my experience the 912 is not affected by it.
