RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
Thanks guys for the kind words-
One question for roboto, since I read it in another thread, but it seems more relevant here on this one-
you mentioned that you had added a washer to give more right and down thrust- was this after initial flights? I notice a fair amount of right thrust is evident in the cowl to prop distances from left to right, and I understand that this really means "squat" due to the fact that the cowl may, or may not be square to the airframe and so forth. However I recognized on uplines it seems to still pull to the left- up/down thrust seems neutral with throttle changes, (it doesn't balloon when you chop the throttle, and I like this!) and I will be moving the C/G back quite a bit to get it a touch more neutral inverted.
I fly just for fun, and do not compete in IMAC, and really haven't the desire to- I would however like to set it up properly- just curious if you noticed the same thing, and how much shimming it took you to correct it- I realize also, that every airframe will have it's own "need" for more or less, just looking for some sort of starting point... Thanks in advance! KM
