Default Pusher Prop Thrust Line Offset from Datum Line
I'm am totally novice when it comes to aerodynamics so please be kind.

Hypothetically this is a 25 - 30 lb plane. The pusher engine develops maybe 19 lb of thrust. Generally speaking, what is the affect of having the thrust line well above (9"maybe)above the datum line? Assume that the wing, stab, datum and thrust line have the same incidence.

TIA,
