Chris, I can't quite see where the Frog thrustline could possible pass through the CG of the Red Wing.

Please explain.

Ray
Hi Ray,
when viewed from above draw the thrust line back through the wing, the original concept was for the thrust line to intersect the CG in order to eliminate the turning effect or yaw that such heavy out thrust would normally give.

Thanks.

P.S. Check the plan, the thrustline goes straight through the bell crank pivot also.


Chris,

I grasped the concept, and yes it's clear in the plan shown. However I just can't see the thrustline from the Frog in the pic above going anywhere near a reasonably placed CG for a c/l model.

Ray
