Paul,
Did you have any outboard thrustline in your test?

Dave
.
Yes, and there is a noticeable difference in the amount of power the running motor can go to.
But the amount of offset looks odd.
BTW, the push-pull came about because I didn't like that right motor running right next to my favorite ear on that side of my head when the plane was the twin-pusher, so I moved right motor to the front.
The v-tailed pusher developed a serious almost uncontrollable lateral darting around as a twin.
With a single pusher motor exhausting between the vees, it flies nicely.
