Noobie question about Motor Mount Thrust Angles and the Power Pod
Hi All!
I just received my FT spitfire and i am eager to start building it.
After i received it, i took a couple of days to study it and came across a couple of potential issues that may be encountered during the build, for which i could not find answers for in my research.
While its been years since i have built a RC plane, and this is my first foam board plane, i do however, recall learning how important it is to have the proper Motor Mount Thrust Angles to prevent roll over. however i can't seem to find any references as to what they might be for the power pod.
Does anyone have experienced suggestions in regard to this issue?
PS. On an unrelated note,, I have noticed that the foam board from which my kit is cut from is quite different then Elemers project board. Where as the Elmers board had to be soaked in water to loosen the paper glue,, the paper on the FT foam is literally, and i do mean literally, coming off by itself. So im not sure if i should peel it off or not. It's possible i got a bad batch, or the humidity got to it.
