I am not sure where the engine should be mounted in relation to the cg and center of drag. I thought the center of thrust should be inline with the cg to not induce any moments but if it is inline with the center of drag it would cancel out the moment created from the drag. Does the center of thrust need to be at a specific point or does it not matter as long as it is in a general area?
