Default RE: Venus II

Anyone familiar with Byran Hebert triangulation trimming? [link=http://Triangulation trimming guide]http://www.hebertcompetitiondesigns.com/Trimming.aspx?ID=11[/link]

I definitely see the value of adding positive wing incidence to the main wing. I added 0.75 degrees to the main wing of my IMAC plane and it reduced my elevator trim to zero and improved and almost eliminated the need for a downline mix.

So I am wondering if anyone has added any positive wing incidence to the Venus. It would be super easy to do. Just build up the posterior portion of the wing seat. I haven't measure it yet but I was sure the Venus had some positive incidence in the wing. But I found this information from Hobbico.

For the Venus II ARF, the wing and stab incidences are zero. The engine is down one degree and right 3.5 degrees.
Don't know how this got left out, but it will be added to the Tech notes.

Thanks.
