The incidence are as per the drawing. Low wing and motor have 0 degree to the fuse datum line. The top wing -1 degree and the stab 0.5 + (lifting the nose). I used 5000 packs today but will use Hacker 4150 packs at 900 grams once they arrive. The total wight will be 4800 grams. Looking forward to fine-tune the model and start practise P and F17.


Br,

Looks good. You did a good job of covering the fuse instead of painting.

I think positive incidence on the stab would drop the nose not raise. The 4 clicks of up elevator indicates that the stab incidence needs to be reduced. Maybe 0 degrees would be better.
