REFLECTOR: Engine Thrust Line

[Jim Sower]

Sounds like you MUST raise it to be able to use the mount.  I see no 
measurable problem.  It would be nice if you could tilt he engine 
forward a degree or two so the thrust line [more nearly] intersects the 
CG.  It shouldn't be that big a challenge and would keep the thrust line 
level when at cruise AoA.
