RE: CMPro Lancair
Hi Folks,
I am just at the stage of installing the engine on my CMPro Lancair. Was going to install an inverted .70 4-stroke (for quieter and more realistic sound), but decided that the cam shafts and rocked cover were toooo exposed due to the overall height of the engine! Tried positioning for sideways but the engine mounts fouled the steering mounts and the top of the cowl.
So back to the original idea of a .46 ASP 2-stroke, mounted sideways as per the 'instruction' sheet.
Now to my question - the diagram for engine mounting seems to me to be unclear re the usual right and down thrust requirements. As I interpret the diagram there seems to be just a small amount of right thrust - maybe 1 deg - and no down thrust. Can anybody please advise re correct amount of right and down thrust required?
Thanks,
Bill
P.S. I have posted this same problem on an RC Groups thread also
