Hi,
I just came across a video of the Saro "Cutty Sark" twin engined amphibian plane at and the question occurred to me what planes with engines as high mounted as this one are like to fly ? ISTM there must be a huge nose-down with power trim problem. In particular, landing must have been tricky with the reduced power giving a nose up trim right at the time you are near the stall and I wondered what the original designers did to counteract that ?
