Proctor ANTIC monoplane, 81 inch, question
I have an old (1973), 81 inch, Antic monoplane I am refurbishing. I do not have plans, but there is no damage that isn't obvious how to fix.
My question is this - the right thrust on the engine mount is huge - it must be at least ten degrees.[sm=confused.gif] I'm going to replace the mount (it is a wood job, configured for an Enya 60), so I need to know if I should duplicate this thrust line. I do not understand why this much would be required.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Maybe you could email Proctor. I've never used more than 2 degrees on any R/C plane that I've ever built. Some control line models may use more than that but the right thrust is used to keep the lines tight.
Is there any way that you can measure it with a protractor?
