Default 3m Comp-ARF Yak Side Thrust

Guys,

PLEASE would someone be good enough to shoot a picture of the side thrust they have on their 3m Yak?

I have just installed a DA170 on 2" standoffs and it looks like there's about 30degrees side thrust

The manual states 1 - 1.5 degrees but the bulkhead looks to provide a load more than that. Here's what mine looks like

Hey there...you have way too much right thrust. The built in thrust will need to be taken out by putting shims on the right side (looking from behind the plane) Mine is about 1-1.5 degrees right thrust....
Here is a photo to give you an idea...
Hope that helps,
Wayne
