Default RE: Sig Tri Star Build

ORIGINAL: Norton

I wonder...could I mount the motor more towards the front and then route a drive shaft back to the rear to drive the prop? Would the shaft weigh more than the counter weight needed to balance the plane? I had over 3 oz in the front of my old Tri Star to balance it.

Probablt more hassle than it's worth.
I'd think of following Craig-RCU's idea of shortening the rear of the fuse to balance. Your at the start of the build and can plan for it rather than try and salvage it at the end.
