seecomber Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I have assembled a Ready 2 with an LA46.motor. The assembly instructions show no down or sidethrust and I wonder if other flyers have found this unnecessary on their versions of this model assuming lateral and longitudenal balance is correct.

simon barr Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hello Seecomber,I have flown a couple of Ready 2's whilst teaching their owners to fly them, and they fly well. I don't know if these guys introduced any side or down thrust, but I doubt it. You will probably find that any necessary side and down is built into the bulk head.

seecomber Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Thank you Simon.I think you may be right as the front firewall is located against little pins with pre-determined locating holes.This would build any down/side thrust in as you sugest.Let`s hope so,the first flight draws nigh!

simon barr Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Even if the side and down thrust is not absolutely correct, it won't make much difference to the Ready...it may just pull to the left a bit if not enough right, and climb under power if not enough down, but it won't be dramatic and un-controlable.Good flying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Brownlie Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I've been flying now for about 2 years. I've flown various ARTFs and never worried about thrust lines, assuming as you say that they are built in where necessary. I'm now starting to practicing for my SIlver and finding difficultiy with loops that slightly cork screw. I'm now looking into all the balancing issues with my current model and wondering how you actually measure the thrust angles accurately. Anybody got a method for setting up a datum line on the plane and also what you use as a clear reference on the engine to get the measurements accurately.regardsBill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
