Default RE: Engine tests/Range test complete

Jimcork, did you ever check the incidence between the wing and the stab. with an incidence meter. And if you did, and if yours is correct 0 - 0, and you had such problems, then maybe there's a flaw on the plans. Maybe the plans should state -1 1/2 degrees. According to Randy's post, It seems about perfect at the negative tail incidence. I guess everyone who is building the fiberglass kit version should make the tail bolt on so they can adjust the tail incidence, like Jimcork did. Jim, I think you should throw an incidence meter on your wing, level it out to 0 deg. and check the stab. incidence. I'm wondering since you adjusted it a few times between flights, if you are now close to Randy's numbers. I know for sure as I did when I read Jimcorks test flight report that I'm definetaly going to make the tail bolt on. I think others who are also building this fiberglass kit version should also seriously think about doing that also.
