Jonathan Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Evening, just joined the forum, have returned to the hobby after 25 years. I'm going to use an electric motor to power my airplane, can I ask when I come to position the motor in the fuselage do I need to position it with down and side thrust same as I did with my fuel engines.

Roy Thompson Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Hi Jonathan, welcome back to the hobby. The simple answer to your questions is yes, just as you do with any other engine turning a propeller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Jonathan Electric motors are fully reversible so electric props tend to made in CW and CCW. Just make sure the rotation of the prop matches your side thrust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
