Hi,

If I can trust that the nose cone is -1.5 degrees down I might use that as a reference.
Do You think I can trust that?

I have some old Hangar 9 Angel-Pro Digital Incidence meter but I was thinking of buying some better incidence measuring tool now for my Galactika.

Is there some real precision tool out there?

I think that I will follow advice here:
http://www.ckaero.net/blog/2015/10/1...d-cg-location/

Digital Angle Gauge (WR300 Type 1) seem a good
http://www.wixey.com/anglegauge/

Resolution: 0.1 degrees
Accuracy: +/- 0.1 degrees
Repeatability : +/- 0.1 degrees
$37.99

I think I will buy 3 Wixey WR300 Type 1 then so I can have one on nose ring (measuring 1,5 degree down angle as reference, one attached to incidence bar for measure wing and one attached to incidence bar for measure stab incidence - all at the same time so I do not need to move around the Wixey WR300 Type 1.
I think I can use my the Hangar 9 Angel Pro alu incidence bars and its side plastic V-clamps, and attach the Wixey WR300 Type 1 to that when measure wing and stab incidence.
