I purchased my ARF (Avistar) to get into RC flying quickly. Building takes a substantial amount of time since I do have priorities that must take precedence to any of my hobbies. The Avistar went together quickly, and with the assistance of my "Instructor" was checked at the field,and flew acceptably till a sudden deceleration with the field.

I did not check the build of internals, and I did not verify the CG. In retrospect, I will now always check the ARF's prior to going to the field. Checking the incidence, however, is not even mentioned in any of the manuals I have for either the Avistar or the T-34 (World Models). I will now check the model for correct incidence, IF I have the correct dimensions and tolerances available.

I do think that checking the incidences of the Main wing and the Tail is like checking the alignment on a new car. You expect it to be "right on" out of the dealer (box).
