Tim Hickey Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I am currently looking at building a 56" Spitfire from plan which is designed around a .46 glow engine. The front bulkhead has down and side thrust built in. Will these thrust lines still be required when using a brushless motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 My logic says it's the propellor that creates need for the side/down thrust, means it's powered by is irellevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul De Tourtoulon Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Yes, as John says, the prop doesn't know who is turning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
