    Default 2 cycle to 4 cycle

    If I was to adapt my 912 to my kitfox 1 would it be wise to straiten out the vertical of my plane. right now I stand behind it and my vertical is a couple degrees to the left which I'm sure works well for the 2 cycle but how bout the 4 cycle. anybody else have this issue

    Is the leading edge of the vertical fin offset to the left? That would be for a right hand prop.

    correct the leading edge is off to the left and you are right about the prop I was thinking that this morning driving to work. a 582 with a gear box will be lots of left rudder correct. did the first 532 come with a belt drive or something. just wondering why it is that direction.

    There were Model 1s with a belt drive 503. Don't know about the 532s.
