> "Now is that some form of "new aerodynamics" like the once spouted "new math"? "< no its not a form of new aerodynamics. I just found that a slightly nose down position works best for my style of flying. If you are a 3d aerobatic type flyer then a completly level position may work better for you. A 2" nose down position on a airplane with a 50" fuselage is not that far off completly level and just assures that the plane is not tail heavy. Works for me anyway. :D

RE: Hobbico Avistar
 

Would you please then inform me as to those method/s you use to determine "....completely level..." and also "....2" nose down..."?

Those determinations are new items/subjects and foreign to my years of studies within the field of Applied Aerodynamics. Since I have left that field for some years, after 41 years involvement, I suspect I am not up-to-date on the latest theories. Thanks for any help. [:-]

I want to recommend the Tower Hobbies 46 engine

On a review that was done a couple of years back, it was considered the second best overall engine.
With the extended Tower warranty, it is a great buy.
