Default RE: Adjusting Wing Incidence

Thanks for the offer speedracertrixie, but the "problem" has been solved. I'd put some sections of fuel tubing on the wing hold down screws to keep them from falling out. They were holding the TE of the wing up a bit (away from the fuse). Noticed that this morning, shortened the sections of tubing and snugged the wing into place. Re-trimmed and the elevator is now aligned with the stab.

I'm not sure I follow your suggestions as it seems you are saying to put in upthrust. Generally every plane I've flown needed down thrust unless the crankshaft, wing and stab were on the same plane. If we ever get a day when the air here is less turbulent, I'll dig out my trimming chart and check it out, remembering that this is a semi-scale sport plane and not a pattern plane. But I have to say it sure is responsive and fun to fly. The limit is still my skills, not the plane!
