Default Phaeton 90 Wing incidence

I had one that I flew for several years 'til I lost it to a downwind, inverted dead stick. Ran out of ideas, altitude and airspeed at the same time.
The plans don't call for any incidence. Mine climbed like crazy too but I just like the previous poster said, it was so much fun that I just never bothered to correct it. I just changed the trim with the throttle. Kinda like the real thing. I balanced mine at the leading edge of the lower wing. The plans call for it to be further aft, but the leading edge of the bottom wing is where I wound up moving it too. I powered mine with a Mac weedeater conversion. It's a great flying plane. Might build another one day.
