Thanks for all the info. I noticed by canopy base is a straight line and there's a trim line parallel to that the entire length of the fuse. I also noticed that the flat surface of the bottom of the fuse is not parallel to the canopy base and tapers up a tad. That's probably why it measure too high at 1.85degrees. I'll remeasure when I get a chance.

My guess is everything as far as incidence is going to be pretty reasonable as this plane was design by BJ. At least I bet it's close enough that I'm not going to want to mess with changing alignment holes until I learn a lot more.

But measuring all this stuff and learning about it is increasing my knowledge so it's not in the least bit wasted time.
