Does the horizontal stab have positive incidence on a cub ?Its an old 1/5 scale hanger 9 1st generation ARF cub that I'm rebuilding. The CG is supposed to be at 3 1/4'' from the leading edge.

A Cub is not necessarily Cub, unlike the contemporary similar cub models of the period such as the Goldberg and the Great Planes versions the answer to your quest is YES that one does and no the others do not. I am intimately familiar with that airplane had fun with mine for years before giving it away to someone that just loved the way it flew. Had a K&B Screaming .48 and also obtained it from a dumpster but covered all black with a yellow lightning strip.

You airplane uses an entirely different decaledge arraingement than the others, Its a great flyer. Do not attempt to level it by leveling the stab, if you do that will pretty well clean out your local hobby shops supply of lead.

No rocket science here just level the fuselage from an imaginary line through the fuse forget the stab.
