RE: Side thrust
Thanks for the reply Don,
I except that this is the way the term is used by modelers and would be ridiculous to try and change it now. But we must admit that is confusing to newcomers and technically incorrect because thrust is not “pull”, it is the high pressure behind the prop so you are actually applying left thrust to make the plane veer right.
To sum it up: We move the Prop side of our engine shaft to the side we want the plane to veer and call it “that side” thrust, I think I got it.
