Thanks everyone for all the information. There was much that had not been considered. The comments inspired me to attempt a real fix.

The incidence was measured at the fuselage although I did know the wing had washout. Hadn't considered using the fuselage to make a template of the wing saddle but it is a very good idea. Of course I made the wrong image the first time.

I added most all of the prop down thrust<span style="color: #0000ff"> in order to get the airplane to fly level power on and power off </span>but did no checking of CG along the way.

Hello Bill,

The airplane will not fly level very long with the power off.
As it slows down in speed it will within seconds start a descent, the wings angle of attack will increase and soon it may stall. It depends where the CG is located.
