Default RE: question on angle of force modification

The sweet spot for the rubber to hit the runway is at the end of a line passing through the CG, 15 degrees in front of a vertical reference line passing through the CG. This is for a hard surface. For grass, the wheels need to be a little further forward and I can't tell you an exact figure.
