Effect of wing incidence?
What is the effect of wing incidence? I notice on the original Eindecker III, the thin, slightly undercambered wing is tilted up at about 10 degrees while the thick, flat-bottomed airfoil on the BUSA Eindecker is absolutely level. Was the original Eindecker's incidence angle a way of gaining more lift from these early thin wings. What would happen if I set the thicker BUSA wing at this angle. To my newbie pilot mind, the effect would be the same as increasing a flying plane's angle of attack -- which in general sounds like a bad thing.
