Hi Randy,

I'm getting ready to do the horizontal stab so I installed the wing and leveled it by measuring out from the fuse on both sides and found the center on both leading and trailing edges. I then measured up from the table at those spots. OK, wing level. I put the horizontal stab on and aligned it with the formed fiberglass, measured out from the fuse and measured up from the table. If you look at the view from the rear it matches the wing pretty well.

My problem is that the horizontal stab has (If I understand this correctly) negative incidence. The leading edge is 1/8" higher. If I give it positive incidence it will be out of whack with the pre formed part of the fuse.

Have you or anyone run into this or even checked? I'm leaning towards just putting them on like that...

Any opinions?
