Default RE: GP Gee Bee R2 ARF

On any airplane, the thrust line is set to help eliminate changes in trim when powier is changed. The "designed" thrustline is usually determined in flight testing before the model's design is hardened and it's committed to production. Downthrust prevents tendencies to strongly nose up when power is applied.
