Hi folks, I'm here in a big dilema so I'm turning to you aerodynamic experts for an advice.
I've decided to build 1/3scale Bob Nelitz Taylorcraft. Now, when I'm looking at the plans and measuring incidents the stab looks like is zero degrees, wing section is about 2 to 3 degrees plus and the engine is zero. I know a few guys built this one with putting everything to zero and using symetrical airfoil rather than the original which is sort of semisymetrical. Apparently this was done for more aerobatic (neutral) feel. Can somebody tell me how this actualy works? Because that's the feel I would like to have on this plane so when I invert it I would like to be able to fly this plane nice and level rather than sort of nose high. I know a lot has to do with the CG but generaly speaking if I decide to use symetrical profile should I still keep those 2 - 3 degrees or can I put it to zero incidence? Thanks will appreciate your comments.
