<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I would also like to give
credit to those that are capable and have the knowledge and tenacity to
research and find answers that lead to better flying models. What we learn
in pattern I have seen trickle down to the sport flyers also. I sure give
credit to those that do think and come up with solid answers. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT><BR></DIV>Del:<BR>Excellent point. I sometimes find
myself trying to pick the flyspecks out of pepper, when time would be
better spent practicing. As John Ferrell said elsewhere about his
flying skills, my skill level also is not such as to see any difference in
my side mounted Moki and my inverted Y.S. engines in my rather limited
flight regime of Intermediate. The Moki (1.8) is in a Midwest CAP
232 and I also have a R.C America CAP with a Moki 2.1 in it. Neither
have any bad tendencies I can attribute to the sideways engine
placement.<BR><BR>Bill Glaze.<BR><BR>Del K. Rykert wrote:<BR>

RE: Sideways engine?</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=113553418-14012004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>You should also consider that the engine has its cylinder on
the right hand side of the plane. With 3.5 degrees of side thrust the
bulk of the crankshaft (The heaviest part) is displaced to the left of
center if the spinner is centered. Balance an engine sometime on its
side and you will see that the CG of the engine is not on its thrust
line.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=113553418-14012004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Now al all of the above poses a new question, if you care, of
how much of a problem we are creating by offsetting and inverted
engine 3/4" at the back of the engine--- Hmmmm.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=113553418-14012004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

in level flight, when side mounted as it weight is opposite to the
counter-rotation caused by the prop.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
