Hi Rick.
I'm trying to visualize whether the location of the props makes a difference. My understanding is that the rudder arm acts thru the C.G. This would seem to mean that the fore and aft position of the props should not make a difference, except in that the weight of the engines would tend to give the aircraft a relatively far aft C.G.
