Default RE: A different approach

I suppose the final resting place for the batteries will be determined to where they are located in some of the current F3A airplanes in relationship to the wing tube. The good news is depending on where the batteries sit to get proper CG may allow me to try both locations. I have been flying a 50cc Laser for a little over a year with the engine inverted. Initially on an upline it did tuck to the gear. A tad of up thrust cured that but I do wonder everything else being equal if the CG was closer to the thrustline would it have tucked? Of course airplane trimming is a whole very long topic in it's self.


Tony F Now there is a name that has been around. I remember you first working over at Indy and the first time we met was at an IMS show where you were flying a Heli boy for Walt.
