Re: Motor thrust angle question
Too many variables and insufficient data
Better go with an experienced and proven designer and follow his recommendations
Generally, right thrust is given to counter gyroscopic effect of the prop giving a tendency to turn left especially at take-off; downthrust to counter the tendency to climb excessively under power. But it is not always needed.
You could make it zero thrust, and then add washers according to the model's behaviour. But as a beginner, who even needs to ask this question, you would be better off sticking to a good designer's recommendation

Re: Motor thrust angle question
Firstly determine the weight

Re: Motor thrust angle question
3 or 4 X 9 gm servos, Rx, 1500 mah 3S LiPo battery, 30 A esc, wiring, landing gear + approx. 50 gm for motor = ~ 300 gm
Total weight 550 gram. A thrust of 600 gm plus will ensure good performance, and power needed is about 130-175 Watts
Suitable motor/prop are many. eg 2826-1400 with a 7*4 prop

Re: Motor thrust angle question
Sure you can. I don't know your wing area (only span, not chord) but if the wing loading is high (gm/sq. cm) the model will fly pretty fast, will not have very good low speed handling, and poorer glide entailing a higher landing speed
If you have a 1300 mah you could reduce about 50 grams!
But again, a lot depends on the model design..... the only way now is to fly it >
