Default Precedent 1/3 scale turbulent advice please

Hi,

I'm building this old kit that I got on fleabay, I think the kits 15-20 years old; so far it’s an enjoyable experience.

There is very little info on the net about it, but a couple of old posts that I have found, suggest that as it was designed for a .60 2 stroke (all up weight should be about 11 lbs) that the wing incidence, decalage, or angle of attack relative to the tail plane should be reduced by a couple of degrees to suit a larger and more powerful modern engine, I intend to put a 120 fs or small gas engine in it.

I'm nearly at the stage where a decision has to be made on this, the idea of doing this retrospectively does not appeal!.

Any knowledgeable suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

John
