Status: offline 		I'm building my third Diamond Dust (guess what happened to the other two!). Since there is no landing gear, how do I set the prop to insure that when I land after flying out the tank of fuel that the prop will be horizontal. Should the prop be at full compression (top dead center)?

thanks,

Larry Brannan
