Measuring incidence

The incidence is the angle of the chord line of the wing in relation to the fuse, or Stab, or any other vital part (Like Floats)

The incidence is the imaginary line from the forward-most part of the LE to the rear of the TE

thrust line from the front of the motor all the way down the fuse to see if your motor is pointing up down left or right. Which I thought thats what they did when they drilled the hole in the firewall of an ARF kit but I was wrong found that out in another topic how to mount a motor!! some just drill a hole to run the fuel lines through!!!

My daughters little ipod touch level is an awesome tool checking degrees to the nearest tenth I use it for control surface throws 90degree angles for my stabilizers. And pitch gauge for my heli but thats a different forum.
