For those who have finished your plane or previous planes. I'm interested in your real life experience regarding whether you've experienced or noticed any sag in your engine since initially mounting it. I've heard that after a hundred or two hundred hours that the engine will settle on the mounts which results in the prop dropping ( 1/8", 3/16", 1/4" , ?????). Is this a real phenomena or an urban airport myth? If its real, how much 'sag' have you experienced? I'm attempting to install my cowl and I'm leery of adding a 'fudge factor' not knowing exactly what it should be, and 1/8" tolerance isn't what I'd like to achieve. Am I striving for the holy grail? It seems like there ought to be a better way to ensure things fit after flying for a while I'm in the process of installing my cowl and would like to have it and the spinner mate evenly when it's all said and done.
