Hi Bill

It is said this cancels out the bad effects of a high torque launch. Probably the right thrust caused by the rubber helps the climb, is the left thrust actually left or is it in reality down thrust in relation to the flight line of the plane. I haven't looked at his plan but it seems to work for him.

  Does anyone know the reasoning behind Stan Chilton's sidewinder motor
  stick? The motor is on the right side but there is 5 degrees of left
  thrust. It seems like you would want the motor on the left side and
  have only a little left thrust if any. What am I missing?
