Hi Guys

I`ve decided to scratch build the Turbinator and just finished tracing out the formers for the fuselage,onto the plywood sheet. I agree that it would have been easier to use the laser cut parts,but I want it to be completely cratch built. I will be installing a K80E engine into it,with prolink struts. Would it be advisable to change the engine thrust angle,as what was done on the ARF version? Meaning to move the slot on the former,before it is cut out? The plans show the thrust angel in its original position.

Regards
Craig
