Default RE: Is this a thrust issue?

I agree about the incidence but it is much easier to change the wing incidence than mess with the engine thrust once the plane is built. Just get you some thin cardboard(matchbook size or slightly thicker) and shim the trailing edge of the wing until she flies level with centered elevator trim. I had to do this with one of my SPADs for about 4 flights before I got it right.
