Default RE: Flight incidence question

Thank you all for the advise and insight into wing incidence information.

To answer the question...
Like Mike asked, what do you want to do? what's the problem?
I am not trying to correct any problem with the Twist airplane, Iam just curious about what the incidence is for this airplane. To give a little background into why I asked the question in the first place. I recently just got done building an 1991 series UltraSport 40. When building that airplane I bought a Robart Wing Incidence meter to set the incidence values both with the Wing and both Verticle and Horizontal stabilizers. I used this meter to ensure that I glued the stabilizer in so that it was consistent to the center of the thrust line of the airframe. I also used this meter to set the wing correctly with the thrust line of the airframe.

I just completed building the Twist and I wanted to use this meter to check the incidence values of the Twist. The problem was that I didnt have any reference points on this airframe to use to level the airplane accuratly. So basically I wanted to check the incidence out just for the fun of it if you will.

I really appreciate all the advise that has been given.... Thank you.
