Default Incindence Meter

I just bought a Hangar 9 ARF 1.20 Edge 540. Will I need to have an incidence meter to set this plane up properly, or will it be okay if I slap it together, like the instruction book says? Thanks for any knowledgeable responses in advance.

I use an incidence meter on every thing I build and helps on trimming the plane,old saying ,it don't get no better in the air,I want every thing as precise as possible before the plane rotates.

Ditto. You never know how things are going to line up. Always good to check. If you don't have an incidence meter, ask around, someone's bound to have one. You only need it for a few minutes. Where in Minn are you? Maybe you can borrow mine!

I check the incidence on everything, including ARFS.

They always seem to be off a hair, and its easy to fix.

If your in the Twin Cities area, your welcome to borrow my meter.

Thanks guys. I'll make things simple for myself, and get a meter. I suppose it's kinda stupid to build anything without one, but since this is my first plane in ten years of an absence from this hobby, I might ask other 'stupid' questions.. lol. Thanks again for the replies.

To me, that's a part of life. I'm 48 and still learning new things every day. It was much simpler when I was 16 and knew everything!
