Hi Martin I get enormous yaw variations with different throttle settings with a Jabiru 2200 engine in an otherwise stock KR2.

Does anyone have thoughts / experience with the best thrust line offset to use for the KR2? I have a suby motor with Redrive so the prop turns clockwise viewed from the cockpit. My engine mount appears to have close to 1 deg offset to the right built into it, but I have heard that 3 deg is likely to be closer to what is best. The a'c has a fixed rudder trim tab with quite a lot of right rudder bias (tab bent to the left) and, as I recall, there was a fair bit of yaw variation with throttle. Pitch changes with throttle seemed to be fairly minimal .... Would appreciate some guidance as I will soon be remounting the engine to the airframe ....
