Default Phaeton 90

On my Phaeton 90 as far as the cowl I used one from a Fokker DR1 a little wide so I made the fuse wider and rounded it off. Tapering the width down from the cowl to the cabaines.

I used the gear supplied and reinforce it by soldering cross wires to them.

I think i'll be going with the top wing at -1 degree, the bottom wing at +1 degree and the stab at 0 degrees, wing incidence.

the engine, Zenoah G26, i'm thinking of using 1.5 or 2 degrees down thrust and 1.5 or 2 degrees right thrust.

I think with a bigger engine I should go with the higher numbers, 2 down and 2 right?

Anybody have a way to figure this out?

Thanks,

Rickt
