Default RE: Engine thrust & CG questions

ORIGINAL: rajul

Matus, you can set an engine up thrust by simply using a negative value for the
engine down thrust, eg -2 deg gives 2 degrees of up thrust.

The three values in the cg editor are the cg position with respect to an
arbitary reference point. The first value moves the cg forward (positive
values) and backwards (negative values), the second to the left (+) and
right (-) and the third value up(+) and down (-).

I would advise you save the new settings under a new model name so that you have a backup of the original model.

Hope this helps

Thanks Mike.....i'll give those a try....for some reason i was thinking that the program did not accept the (-) and dropped it when i attempted to save.......also i had what apperared to be a heavy wing, tried to add weight to the opposite side and that did not work so i'll try the L/R CG move to see if that works.....are these things in a new/revised manul somewhere? Thanks.
