Line rake, motor offset and engine out thrust.
« on: September 22, 2006, 07:56:46 PM »
I was reading on SSW about motor offset. "Here is my ideas" Some talk of centrifugal force creating line tension. I use 2 degrees off set. Some say no rudder offset I use some. Watch my Tbolt in a Gael wind and get your stop watch out. Also look at how much I have to lean back (LINE TENSION) It pulls just as hard in the overheads as it does in level flight.

Also look to see how much hinging there is (NONE) Lines are raked back 1.25 behind the CG.

Now Brett please tell me what you see in the video besides my bad flying. Watch the plane and see if its trimmed right? I think it is.. Old school with the new power.

So in my opinion yes to all of the above. I am not good at explaining things like some I just learn from trial and error.
