I traded for a Rotec Panther 2 with problems. They put on a little bigger motor and changed the motor mount. When you throttle up it pushes the nose down and when you throttle back the nose comes up. When they changed the motor mount they put it parallel with the wing mount. In the Assembly manual it says to add a extra rubber gromet and washer to the front of the engine mount to get the correct thrust angle but they don't say how thick the gromet is or what the angle is. From the pitcure I would guess about 3 degrees. Does anyone know what the angle should be. THANKS. Rich.
