Hi,
I have a Widebody 60 with an airfoiled tail group. The problem is that its time to attack the fin and stab, but I don't have an incidence meter, so I can't tell if there is any incedence or not. Does anyone have a trick to ensure that I get 0 incidence?
Thanks,
Robert.

The only "trick" that is reliable, is to use an incidence meter. Ask around, someone in your club must have one that they will loan you.

Hey minn, just another quick question, how do you usually set up the tail and wings so everything is parallel, at right anfles to the fuselage, and the fin is running straight down?
Thanks,
Robert.

Attached is how to make a cheap one. Costs about $5. Been using it for years with no problems. I also use pocket levels, bubble levels and triangle squares to true every thing up. Dont forget lateral alignments too.

Very interesting, I'll take a look at my DIY shop and see if I can pick up the goods.
Thanks!
Robert.
