Default RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I have built and flown the smaller 46 bobcat with wren 44 gold and i have 5 degrees of down thrust which i will be doing the same to the falcon 120. I believe the bobcat has about 7 degrees of down thrust.The reason for this amount of down thrust is two fold ,one so you don't burn your lovely covering but i suggest you ali tape it and secondly the increased thrust velocity under the flat bottom tailplane if was dead straight increases pressure under the taiplane giving a tail up tendency hence the reason for the down thrust to decrease this pressure and reduce pitching down tendencies.
