Back to the Future #21


Time to flesh out where the lift motors are going, and as these are 22" props I pitch the axis 12" forward of the bulkhead and mark the tips forward and rear.

Looking from above and working clockwise from the foremost left prong, quad props rotate CW, CCW, CW and CCW. This means that the outboard blades will be creating most lift under forward motion (and the inboard at the rear).

Which is nice because credible three-wheelers all locate two wheels at the front for the widest stance and the best handling... what we are achieving virtually here too.

Pure serendipity I'll admit, but you only get to benefit from her ample gifts if you put yourself out there in the first place.
