RE: Problems taking off?
I can't remember anymore which wing was dropping but after looking at the plane just now it has no right thrust and maybe even a little left thrust.
The reason I don't think the problem is with the airspeed is because on the first couple of flights it took off just fine. But after those first flights the engine bolts became loose and when I went to tighten them I must have not paid any attention to how the engine was positioned.
I guess what I am curious about is what effects does having the engine angled to the right or left or up and down have on the flight characteristics?
If there weren't a thick layer of ice and snow on all the lakes in MN I would reposition the engine and go try it but unfortunately I have a lot of time to think about it.
