Engine Thrust Line&Horizontal Stab Incidence
Question, I'm building an ESM ARF and the manual states that you must drop the thrust line 1/4"/6mm. Doing so puts the crankshaft center in the middle of the cowl. Not doing so and the cosmetics are upset. I took all the measurements and the thrust line should be the first mentioned. Being somewhat familiar with thrust lines and angles would this new setting act like additional down thrust? The other odd thing I noticed, was that the fuselage, which is fiberglass, has moulding builtin to accept the horizontal stab halves. These mouldings are set at a positive angle of attack. Does this relate to the location of the engine thrustline?
