Default Gb ultimate almost done!!

I'm finishing up the framing on mine right now. It's an "old" kit. I'm using the Saito 120 mounted at 20° down from horizontal. The engine mounting was a little fussy with exhaust routing and overall length issues. Its all set-up now. I will also have balance issues and will probably have to mount the battery way back in the tail.

I beefed up: ply rib strut tabs, firewall mounting, fuse strut pads, wing saddle, bass block in wing, landing gear mounting. I doubt if I added 3 oz total.

What is the optimum stab incedence? My kit says +1.25 but others are saying to set it a zero.
