Hi,
This is NOT intended to be a 'Trimming' thread.

Adjusting incidence is near impossible or at least very difficult on many of the current biplane designs.
There also seems to be a information/knowledge gap but for a few spurious ideas with little foundation.
Multiple adjustments are just not on with these designs - it is a bit of a one shot deal and it is a pity if people are trying to sort a poor set up or if they try to change the set up in a knowledge void.

I'm hoping this can be a thread where people share what they know or what they have - maybe we will find some consensus on a 'good' fundamental set up for F3A biplane wings incidence wise.
So just information on existing and or best potential wing incidence set up please.
There are quite a lot of people flying bipes now including some top pilots so there must be a growing knowledge/experience pool.

I have started this in the belief/hope that this is a sharing and helpful community.
If you have nothing to say then it is best to say nothing at all.

Brian
