Default RE: Wing Incidence

Big Ned is right. I think you will be happier if you can setup an adjustable stab and wing. Until the plane is flown, it will be a bit unknown. The fuselage shape can play a big role in the final trim requirements too. In my experience (limited) I was happy that I had adjustability on both the stab and the wing. In my first design I ended up with 0° on the wing and about -.25° in the stab. At this point I am happy with the trim. Be prepared to fly many, many trim flights, perhaps even adjusting your engine thrust too.

I hope to build a new design again this Winter and I will definitely build in some adjustability on both surfaces.

Good luck.
