hi MIXMASTER

I have never in over thirty years of flying seen a normal, front engined model with up thrust.
What is the reason behind this? Most, if not all models require a little down thrust to fly properly.
If you are using it to stop the model dipping down whilst prop hanging you are messing up the model for all other maneuvers.
With a little practice it becomes second nature to blip in a little up elev to hold the nose up. Much better than artificial
trimming.
