What is the thrust angle that was molded in your fuse?? The instructions on the CA Model web site say
" It gives aproximately 1/2 grade of negativity and 1.5 the right trhust."
I assume that means 1/2 degree dn and 1.5 degree rt. are already molded in.
Grade is a unit of angular measure commonly used in civil engineering. I'm sure you have all seen the highway signs. All it is is the tangent expressed as a percentage. A 45 degree incline is considered a 100 percent grade. I'm guessing he means degrees.
