Default RE: EDF Airliner build thread

Hello Ian,

It is great to see your vote of confidence on all the changes I am making.

I would be a liar if I tell you I am not deeply concerned about the changes, since the only way to find out if I messed up is by flying the plane, and by then, it would be too late.

The biggest concern/unknown at this time is the angle of incidence of the stabilizer. Since I am making the leading edge fixed, I better get it right, or the plane may climb too steep or nose dive, especially with the smaller elevator surfaces.

Could you please recommend the angle of incidence of the stabilizer for level flight when the elevators are level with the stabilizer plane? Can I assume that the stabilizer should also have a 1 degree incidence like the wings?

Also could you please remind me of the CG, since the changes I have made have already changed it, and as such I need to return it to its original place. Please note that my model would be using the Alfa fans.

Thanks
Serdar
