Default RE: Can I Produce Washout with Ailerons

Set the meter aside
draw a straight line from TE to LE at the tip
along exact center of each
do this for both tips
IF the wing is straight - the wing can be balanced on four pins along two exactly parallel blocks of wood
THEN- the center of the wing should also be level (coincident) with the tips
Frankly I have no use for these incidence meters- any of em
A difference in sanding LE/TE radius throws everything in a cocked hat.
BTW No one deliberately sets up the tips to promote a snap roll -
