when you go to +1/4 degree WI which ways does it pitch in knife edge? to canopy or belly?
ORIGINAL: MHester

Hey Matt, the up lines are perfect, the down lines pull to the canopy VERY slightly, like about 1-2% mix to idle gets rid of it totally. That's my typo and I see it now, I said up instead of down lemme fix it...

I did play with the incidence on this plane, I went as high as +1 full deg and low to about -1/4 deg. It likes about 1/10 of a degree to clean up any pitching and still break into a spin nice. When I had it down at 0 or lower, the plane would just hover. I would have to dial the throttle way way back, and it's idling at about 1500 right now.

But at 1/10 deg and higher, it breaks sweet. But any higher than +1/4 and it starts pitching both in down lines and in knife edge. So, after much play, I settled right about back where I started, 1/10 of a degree positive. Everything just seemed to balance there.
