I used the wrong term, I meant thrust line. I went in another direction, however, I attached the lower wings to the uppers flat. No dihedral at all, the plane flies well, and turns well. A neighbor complimented me on the flight! Good feedback! I have the motors tucked under the wing, I think I'm generating more power than the wing can handle. I did glue the motors in place today. Now comes the cutting back of the wing. Pic's to follow. I generated the lift I needed. I also put more weight in the nose. Tim
Instead of putting weights in the nose why not try a tractor set up with
the motors mounted on the leading edge? Or move the motors forward
and cut some slots into the wings? You have the wing area.
I'm attempting to build a Fokker Dr1 for the AA now. Red's triplane. The
motors will be mounted on the second wing, in slots to hide the motors, with
a dummy prop up front. micro has told me that a tripe is very difficult to trim
so I'm looking for ways to make this easy. So far it's turning into a project-
as usual.
