Hey Carf Corsair folks, I have an engine standoff question. I see here, in this thread, the different standoff lengths to get the 2.5 degrees of right and .5 degrees of upthrust (according to the Carf manual). My question is about the faces of the actual standoffs. Are you all making them square and just not worrying about the “tweaking” on the motor flanges? Or are you machining the angles onto the faces, the matching angles on washers? Thanks for some insight / education.

Regarding the standoffs, I just used them flat as they were. I did think about angling them to better match the back of the Moki mount, which I sure would be better, but they seem to be OK as is.
