Oops.....my mistake. Yes.....it is +.5 degree, not 5 degrees! I'm still waiting for a low wind day here in the Midwest to maiden my Eternity. I had perhaps a 3/32" gap between the top wing and the top of the fuselage with the wing sitting on the struts. I ended up covering the fuselage wing seat and bottom of the top wing with plastic wrap and placed some Hysol epoxy in the gap to form two custom fit shims. My top wing is currently sitting at +.1 degree incidence. I'll make further adjustments, if needed, depending upon how the plane flies in knife edge.
