Thrust line
Hi All,
Need some help. Building a plane from some big stick plans. Have changed the design from the original. Built it as a low wing. I am about to install the engine mounts. The mounting instructions mention alighning the mounts with the "Thrust Line". What is the "Thrust Line and how do I determine where it is?
Thanks
Tom

RE: Thrust line
I would expect that the thrust line would be a line running through the center of the prop, perpendicular to the prop (parallel to the crankshaft, throught he center of the crank.
I would also expect that a datum line would be any arbitrary line somewhere, from which all measurements are taken.
