Default Wing Incidence

Double check your lower wing for twist!! I have a 1/16 shim at the trailing edge of the lower wing to get it to 0 deg. Last night I checked the incidence out toward the ail. it was a neg.1 on both sides so twisted the wing and applied the heat gun, now I'm showing 0 across the whole wing. My top wing has 1/8 shims under all the T.E. brackets to get the top wing to 0 deg. I also had to reposition the cabanes because my top wing was like a teeter totter when attached to the cabane. I also had to reposition the fuselage holes for the lower wing dowels so that the wing would fit into the saddle correctly.
