Default Motor Thrust Help
Hi All,
Designed a FFF wing with dual vert stabs and a horz. stab on top connecting all three. Motor is mounted on horz. stab facing forward. Prop runs at cg line. CG found with glide test minus 10 ounces of unneccasary weight. Center of prop is 6" above wing. Using elevons for control.
Should I have motor upthrust or downthrust?
Right or left thrust?
Any idea how much?
How much does a sea wind have?
Here's some photos.

Thanks NNA
