OK.....I've got my protracter........

So do I simply take 3 degrees off the right side of the motor box to get my 3degrees of thrust?

Sounds funny but Yes. Measure everything off of the motor box. I assume your going to make two diffrent size motor box sizes so that the 3 deg is built in, If so set it up on a table before you glue and measure 3 times!! Good Luck Chris

Assuming that both sides of your engine box are the same length... then measure the width of your engine box (inside to inside) ... then the amount you have to cut off the right engine box side is....

amt to cut off = tan 3 degrees x width of engine box

.367 " = 0.0524 x 7 "

or right at 3/8 of an inch....
