Default RE: 85" Cap

Yep that's what I meant.. sorry for the confusion

Well I am now officially at a loss... incidence is 0-0.. I mean it's def. hard to tell 100% perfect but it's within .5 degree for sure.

So now I am not sure what to look for. When flying it..if you look at the counter balances there is a good 1/16" showing for down el just to fly level. This translates into major coupling for KE. While you can mix it out I would def. like to try and solve this issue. I havent had a plane need this much trim to fly level before.

What I can tell you is because of the amount of thrust correction needed the spinner back plate is not 1/8" higher than it should be. I have every intention of correcting this but I was trying to get the trust correct before moving the motor down again. I already moved it down once but needed more up thrust yesterday. Up / Down thrust it seems great right now.

Could the engine being 1/8" higher than it should cause that much down el. needed to fly level?

Thanks for the input
