Default Thrust line

i think it all depends on what performance you're looking for. i do know that having the wing and stabs on the thrust line you can get better rolls without coupling and hovering/TR's are alittle easier, because if the stab is slightly higher than the wing (CAP 232) you need to hover with the plane leaning toward the canopy rather than straight up so the stab and wing are in-line. Also have heard that moving the stab up away from the thrust line will increase sensitvity of the elevator.
