Default RE: Escape plans

Thanks Bill. I drew the thrust line at neg. 2° which is what the plans show. What I posted was sort of a rough sketch until I knew it was correct. I am working on a final drawing now.

I finished the new fin/rudder drawing. This is really the only drawing needed. The nose and belly mods can be done by simply cutting a new 2 1/2" ply nosering and sawing 1/2" off the bottom of the former at the wing LE. The added area to the bottom of the fuselage sides is a straight line from the rudder hinge line to the bottom edge of the former at the wing's TE. My plans already show 2° of engine downthrust.

I can send this as a separate file to be used with the full plans. It is 20" wide x 12" tall.
