Rotation is more stable.
What surface on the fuse can be used as a reference plane to check TV pipe thrust line?
I don't have a close up shot of the fuel bag to show, but it was butt against the FOD screen. I am thinking it conformed to the FOD on take off roll.
Here is a shot of the plane just before taking off. does it look like it has negative incidence? Seems pretty level to me
Thanks
