I'm getting ready to mount the power pod in a 3 channel pusher plane. Looking at the old Parkzone Fighterbird I found at a thrift store some years back, it has a significant up-angle on the prop, but the control on that plane was V-tail rudder only, with climb/descend based on motor thrust. That left me wondering if they had the prop angled so as to push the nose up more with power, while a true 3 channel with elevator/rudder control in the tail wouldn't need quite so much.
The nice thing about the power pod system, is that I can adjust the angle as necessary after a test flight, but I'd rather at least get in the ballpark for the first time out.
Any insights from those who have blazed this trail before, would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
