Allright; here I'm going to show my ignorance, so please bear with me.

Part of my CMP Cub build is going to be an ArduPilot (in hopes it can keep me from lawn-darting it in the first 90 seconds); critical to making it work right is having it leveled correctly with respect to the nominal flight attitude of the craft.

Am I correct in assuming that the dorsal centerline at level flight should be a line between the horizontal stab and the motor shaft?

Or am I oversimplifying, and that centerline is offset due to the high-wing geometry of the plane?

Yes, I do realize that this will vary with how close to nominal COG I am with my final setup.

Thanks,


mnem
