Please define "offset"
do you mean the outhrust or down thrust?

FLOTO:

No offset. When you have eenough offset to make any real difference flying with an engine out the offset is so great that the appearance is offensive to the eye.

Mount your engines dead away - zero-zero.

Hey, Floto, did you get an air fill valve with your '38?
How do your wing panels fit to the center pod/booms?
Does the gear covers fit to the pod/booms?

Bob Severance,
No airfill valve,Ordered one from Spring Air, Cost $15.00.
One side of wing panel fit ok but the one that didn`t I used an large wood clamp to pull in the leading eadge while the 30 min. epoxy cured.
As far as I can tell by eye every thing is lined up.[8D]

Andrew Kondor (KMP) has been selling an ARF A-26 for several years. Nice plane.

After contact w.KMP, Andrew is sending me new retracts (because received were inoperable) and te air valve!
Andrew is a stand-up kinda guy! If there is any problem, I feel he will do what's right to correct the problem!!
I wish more were as conscientious!

sincerely,
