Default Planning for engine sage while fitting the cowling or not? Poll
Should one plan for engine sag while fitting the cowling?

There have been several posts dealing with this issue but some have experienced engine sag while others have not.

Please answer the poll to help others decide the best way to fit their cowling.

With so many different engine configurations out there, I hope you take the results with a grain of salt. Just the difference in fixed pitched and constant speed will change the results.
