Default RE: Ultra Stick Lite and Wing Incidence

That's what we will be doing this afternoon. As indicated, I did leave some nose down when I balanced it and I could make minor corrections to this if needed. I have also read on RCU where the balance point has been moved by some back to about 5-5 1/2 inches, which I may do as well. With the small amount of weight that I have to add and the power of the G-26, I won't be giving up very much performance. And...I can always move the battery further back if necessary. The change in the wing saddle or mounting points will be my last resort. And finally, that is not to say that the plane doesn't fly well now, quite the opposite. We just want to work on the charactersistics for better handling.
