trust the thrust line?
Hello all... I have just started building (assembling) the .60 size Hangar 9 P-47. I'm following the recommendations in the build thread for that plane here on RCU but I've run into an issue...
The ARF has a pre drilled firewall for their aluminum mount. As I do as I'm told I've glassed the inside of the firewall and I'm getting ready to re-drill the firewall so the YS 120 will be fully inverted instead of the 120degree orientation the ARF had.
Here's the rub... although the build thread talks about re-inforcing, re-drilling for 180 degree inversion of the motor, it does not say whether to believe the drawn lines on the firewall for thrust line...
the firewall is 6 3/4 inches wide at its widest point but the thrust line is drawn at 3 1/4 inches from the left side (fuse is inverted and you're looking at the firewall). should I trust that drawn line or should put the prop shaft at the point on the firewall in the middle of its widest point and split down the middle (vertically)?
