Default RE: Down thrust question

BM, thanks again for your insight

I agree with all you wrote except this:
ORIGINAL: BMatthews
...But to answer your question no, that does not mean the wing is set to zero incidence. It only means we are using the wing's chord line as our reference line for determining the motor's downthrust angle with respect to the wing itself...
Maybe i didn't say it correctly, but if the angle that i drew on the side view is 2 deg (and it is 2 deg as measured on my screen) AND the downthrust of the motor is also 2 deg i have to assume then the wing is at 0 deg. Right?

BTW i got a late reply from the manufacturer that some info is coming my way soon (cross my fingers)
