Default RE: Tail Incidence

The pic i put here is decieving. The wing is flat along the bottom of the fuse. It is a very thick airfoil. I can pull off the wing just outside the the nacelles. I put a straight edge down the center line of the airfoil, from the tip of the trailing edge through the center of the leading edge. That is what I used to set the incidence. I have always done it this way without problems. I just got a little more on the horizontal than I planned. This set up will make a flat bottom airfoil fly straighter with less climbing with greater speed if they are both Zero. Again my concern was 1 degree too much..

Thanks for the comments on the plane. I love to built unsual projects....
