Is there any other books that might help me? Thanks again for helping
triangulated 4 link has the downside of mooving the RRC.. as it is located where the two (usually upper) arms theoretically meet... on a g bar suspension that is compensated by keeping the mounts low on the rear end.. you should do a satchel link instead or ideally a paralell 4 link and a frame mounted propeller- wattslink that keeps the rollcenter fixed in relation to the c of g.
