Default Re: Static versus Dynamic Weight

the center of gravity of the prop remains unchanged when it is turning (or when it isn't turning).... the CG is the same regardless of the props RPMs...

But... a tractor configuration (prop in the front) has elements of Pitch and yaw instability whereas a pusher is stable... or tends to be stable'izing.....

of course... this is assuming newtonian physics.... as we all know... the mass of an object does increase with increasing velocity...
