Thanks everyone for your input. I didn't think the thrustline would be too serious, but I wanted to hear it from others to enforce my decision to continue with the engine choice.
I apprieciate these forums and its members more and more daily!!
Some guys put a lot of work into thrust line settings.
Of all th basic settings this one is most tolerant of it's placement or angle
Why?
the speed of the airframe (the models) dictates the actual angle of wing, stab and thrust.
so any setting is a moving target
Where thrust lines really get fussy are setups where the engine is very high above (or far below)the vertical center of drag.
The reason is pretty obvious - the force (thrust is working on a longer moment arm
