The bottom line here, is that when a plane fly's thru the air, the wings should be pointed straight forward in relation to the direction the plane is going, not 8 or 10 degree's up from that direction. Here's a good question... how come there is no brand name on the box, or in the manual ? They claim that the normal price for this Stearman is something like $300.00 on the website. Ha ! I have a 4 year old Kyosho Super Stearman, and it was like $250.00. The manual was beautiful in the way they explained every segment of assembly, and they gave the incidence figures as well. The Kyosho came with high quality hardware also. By comparrison, the Stearman that my friend bought, is a POS, and the manual isn't worth the paper it's printed on... The Kyosho devotes a whole page on mounting the engine, Joe's manual has a silly pic and says "mount engine". The manual that came with my Pitts looks like a photocopy, and is much worse than his. Were both very dissappointed, and thats mainly because they tell you that the normal price is like $300.00, making you think that your just getting a good deal. Joe and I have decided to shape his wing saddle to mimic my Kyosho incidence, and that means that the rear of the lower wing needs to come up about 1/2 inch to get there. There is no excuse for this kind of design flaw, especially when they expect you to fly the thing.
