Status: offline 		Hi,

I am building the fuse mold for a 60" slope plane and want to get some feedback from the readers on appropriate AOA for the wing and angle of the stab.

Right now I have created a wing saddle that provides a 0 degree AOA (wing is parallel to a level fuselage). The stab is a symmetrical foild with 1 to 2 degress of negative incidence. (Points 1 to 2 degrees below parallel to fuse.)

This is intended to be an acrobatic, fast plane. Airfoil is an RG-15,
360 sq in, 26 oz target weight.

Thoughts?

-Tom

It might look better in the air if the wing had the angle and the tail were set at 0. Even though it is aerobatic you will spend a lot of time upright. It all depends on what the fuse looks like.
