Project Dog Whistle. LOL And Bill rightly points out that if the thrust is behind the CG, any yaw at low speeds means a ground loop on takeoff unless the tailwheel is firmly tracking. No it doesn't. The thrust is always directed through the centre of mass. It's position of the main wheel with respect to the CM that matters for a ground loop... Alan Baker Correct. I'm mixing apples and oranges. In our Sparrowhawk design, the engine(s) thrust is through the center of mass, so this doesn't matter. I wonder about the Genesis mock-up, where this may not be the case.
