Default RE: Mach 1 , Does it need right thrust?


ORIGINAL: flatspin58

Building a old Midwest mach 1 and the plans show no right or down thrust.Hate to have to put it in after its finished.I know i put some right thrust in the tiporare i just finished.

When inverted, right thrust becomes left thrust, thus pulling the climbing model (assume an extended vertical ascent) to the left, which torque and P-factor are already trying to do. I use zero-zero and learned how to fly the model through these shifting modes.

Buy the proper tools for setting up the model, if you do not already possess them, and setting incidence and angles will be a snap.
