RE: KRIER GREAT LAKES
I have the same plans but haven't started construction. The magazine article and plans do not have references to incidence. Given my experience with bipes I would start with zero bottom and zero top. If the plane balloons on take off change the top wing incidence to -1.
keep us posted of your progress. You might want to get Harry Higley's book "Bipes". Great tips and suggestions for building bipes and getting them aligned correctly.
