Im new please help
 

Hello everyone I'm kinda new to R/C flight. Have a few planes and have been succesful in flying. My question is "what direction do you face your motor for right thrust angle?" Please dont think im dumb[sm=confused.gif]

RE: Im new please help
 

To your right as if you were sitting in the plane

Thanks a bunch, thats what I thought but just wanted to sure.:D

RE: Im new please help
 

but... if you're new to RC right thrust may not be your first priority. Others can help guide you in the right direction. You came to the right place ;)

I've been flying and working on planes for about 7months now. First plane I flew was my cousins Dragonfly and thats all it took to get me hooked. I purchased my first plane Virus from NEsail and was very successful with it. Till an unfortunate mishap[&o]

well it's amazing at what you can learn here on RCU. Most here are willing to help anyway they can.

Have fun!

hey squiggy i'm an A&P also except i've been doing it alot longer anyway just like on full scale, rc is the same, everything is as if you're sitting in the plane. Lt and Rt also number 1 through 4 engines,tires, whatever starts on theLt and moves RT as you're sitting in it.
I'd like to say 1 through 4 is fore to aft if in a fore aft arrangement but not all manufactors stick to that rule. the MD90 VFCS is RT on the nose and the Lt side is midway down the fuselage. go figure
