gas to electric thrust angle?

[juki48]

I'm building a 1/2a house of balsa sport stealth for electric. everything is going smoothly but I'm not sure about the thrust angle. the design calls for quite a steep angle down. should I use the same angle for electric?

Depends - for a similar prop and RPM, yes, but if you run a smaller, faster prop, less would work, and if you run a gearbox and a larger prop at lower RPM, you might need more.

Thank goodness for small washers to adjust the angle, eh?

Can always count on Andy W! yup. I'll go with the stock angle and see how it goes.
