<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<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><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

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>

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

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