Thanks for your reply. I am taking the information from the book entitled: JET PIONEERS - GLOSTER AND THE BIRTH OF THE JET AGE (Photos enclosed)
I totally agree with what you stated so if I should stick to 0-0 it should not be a problem as any fine flight adjustments will be taken care of by the elevator trim. Hopefully this will be the ideal setting.

Meanwhile I am enclosing extracts from the stated book and a basic outline of the cad drawing.

Is this drawing a good representation of the aircraft? I notice the wing has a positive AOI to the FCL, however the stab is sitting at a 0 AOI to the FCL, at least on this drawing, I only ask because the appendices you posted states there is a positive AOI of 1.75 degrees on the stab, if so that is in direct conflict with what I am seeing on this drawing. Also looks like the Stab has a semi symmetrical airfoil, am I correct in what I am seeing?
