Default ASYMMETRIC ENGINE SETUP SU-27
Hi Guys,

I would like to know if anyone has any experience with asymmetric engine setups? I'm keen to purchase a FeiBao SU-27. My only problem is I don't have two engines to suit but I have a perfectly good 160.
Would it be possible to fly this model with an offset engine setup? Or is this a really bad idea? Should I be looking into modifying so I could mount the engine in the centre?

If there is anyone out there with an offset engine setup are you using a gyro on rudder or have an offset tailpipe to counter the swing?

Cheers,

Paul
