Dave,

Thanks for the advice. After I got the wings finally mounted and adjusted, I did just stand it on the gear and realized that the nose gear position I had setup was too short. I added 1/4 inch blocks between the nose gear mounts and the gear itself. I now have about 1 degree of positive incidence when its standing on the gear - unloaded. I'd assume that will increase to 2 degrees or more when the main gear compress with increased all-up weight.

I can actually adjust it either way by a degree or two by adding more blocks or removing the blocks...
