Title: Position of horizontal stabilizer
Post by: utkarshg13 on December 27, 2013, 09:57:33 AM
Hello everyone,
I have a small query. Since, I have been asked by a number of people to do this, so my question is: :headscratch: :headscratch: Is it always necessary to keep the horizontal stabilizer and the wingspan at the same level. I find it a bit difficult to do this in a high winger model as well as low winger model. Please guide me through this. :bow: :bow:

Must must read for any aeromodeller... gems of information by Gusty saheb and other distinguished gents on the forum...

I'd try to keep the level of horiz stab at the thrust line for non-pusher designs and give any down up thrust as necessary due to wing offset
