I am subscribed. Always looking for a build to learn from. OK, maybe not always, but I love warbirds. So here is my first question,for OldScaleGuy. What is canting the vertical stab. going to do?
Thanks
The idea of this is that in the event of an engine out, the prop wash from the good engine over the canted stab will act as a rudder to counteract the yaw produced by the asymmetric thrust. This might prevent the plane from going into a death spiral, or at least give you a bit more time to react. For the same reason, Ziroli recommends 2 degrees of right thrust on the right engine, zero on the left. Also, some guys use a rudder gyro or a Twin Sync.
Thanks for the reply. I won't hijack bigE's thread,but I have more questions. I am going over to Twin and Multi engine RC Aircraft, and will call the thread Multi-Questions. I am going to stay subscribed to this build. Love warbirds, and hope to enjoy twins this summer. I hope some of the informed will follow, I do want to learn!
Thanks again
