A friend of mine is building the electra kit, but both he & I are concerned about the seemingly excessive engine thrust angles on the plans. They put the engine centreline approx 5" up the rudder & about 3" into the left elevator. Can someone please tell me if this is correct and/or why so much of an angle on a glider when a glow powered aircraft doesn't have anywhere these angles?


ps the motor size is the recomended 550.
