Hi Everyone,

I am trying to figure out if my Hot Spot has the proper angle of attack while sitting on the ground. I'm using the Robart struts with BVM F-86 wheels an brakes. I put my wing incidence meter on the root yesterday and it read +3*. Would it be safe to raise the nose to +5.5*? I'm am trying to achive easier lift offs and shorter ground runs.

With the current +3* my Spot takes about 400' to get airborn with a RAM 1000R for power at 120,000 RPM (21 lbs of thrust). It weights 28lbs wet with 110 oz of fuel. My C.G. is at the rear recomend setting (Bob Wilcox instructions).

Is it a good idea to change the angle of attack or am I possibly getting myself into trouble?

Thanks,
