Default thrust line for engine and not mounting engine on this thrust line

I read somewhere about Super Cub guys in ALaska putting shims under the
lower mounts at the firewall to up the thrust line a few degrees.

Thanks for the input

aircraft. Generally you will see canards engine thrust line pretty
close to the main wing level - but higher if anything, to keep the prop
clear of ground on takeoff/landing.

Correcting your problem? Reposition your engine mount so that at least
the engine thrust line is horizontally centered. I suppose you can tear
up the design more and do the vertical centering.

how high up can you go with the engine keeping the engine thrust line
vertically centered before you start getting bigger problems
i see many longez with engines up from horizontal center of both wings of
12
inches or so
thanks for the input to all that have taken the time to answer tom
