I am getting all kinds of recommendations from knowledgeable people. And I'm hearing statements that my problem is engine above the wing, or engine has too much power, or occupants sitting in front of the wing and so on.
I would like to understand why thrust line above the wing is such a big problem for everybody? Is it true that every problem has a solution? All you need is correct Tail to balance this problem!
On Cessna 172 thrust line below the wing and nobody seems to concern.
Found old message from Peter Garrison saying that nothing really wrong with arrangement. So what, that engine is 12 inches above the wing? And yes pilot and passenger sitting 8 inches in from the wing. It should still be very possible and very manageable. An ideal airplane everything will be positioned on the CG and trust line go through drag and CG. But how many airplanes arranged like that?
