In many homebuilt aircraft, engine choices can be quite varied, including those with reduction gears and those that are direct drive.
Aside from changes in mounts and cowling, from an aerodynamic point of view, how critical is propeller installation to the aircraft longitudinal waterline?
I already know about prop diameter & the tip strike potential, but am mostly wondering about the center of thrust as it relates to the aircraft waterline.
Thanks
