Hi Guys, I have taken delivery of my Blanik and I am asking , again, of anyone how the universally accepted (apparently) measurement of 4 degrees down thrust for the turbine is arrived at ? What I am looking for is what datum the 4 degrees is relative to i.e. is the stab at zero (as the yardstick we use in pattern),or is it based on a centre line through the wing section joining leading edge centre to trailing edge centre,or is it from some easily determined datum through the fuselage or,worst case is it a guess? Heaven forbid !
I am really keen to learn from the experience of those who have successfully flown this model in turbine configuration, please help. Thank you.
My turbine is a Jetcat P60.
Cheers Dambuster.
