Default RE: Landing the GP Christen Eagle
Most biplanes seem to work very with with incidence setup as follows:

Top wing: -1 degree
Bottom: 0
Stab: 0 or +1

Also.. MOST biplanes require a degree or so of UP thrust to fly straight uplines.

The key to landing ANY airplane is not to force it down.. that just doesn't work. Also.. if your incidence is wrong on the top wing.. it WILL be a nightmare to land.
