Hi Brian,
Look forward to seeing your new creation (at Kent?).

Re incidence - can't think why incidences on each wing would need to be different for pattern. What would be the advantage of 1 wing stalling & t'other still flying, say - in spin entry.

Also F3-A people don't forget - no matter what incidence you 'think' you set on the model - the model will always fly at the correct incidence to fly level. You set the incidence with elevator trim in flight. If you try to use exessive incidence - all that happens is the fuselage then fly's tail up or down. Its impossible to get around this simple aerodynamic fact.
regards
Stuart
