Default RE: Showtime

I've noticed that some guys have complained about tip stall with the show time and it seems to be related with the stab having some slight movement and not being as secure as it could be. The fix seems to be is to glue the stab on permanently. I have checked mine and yes there is some slight movement there. I have lots of hangar space and transportation is not a problem so it doesn't matter if the tail can be removed or not. Looking at the wing incidence I;ve also noticed that some guys have found this to be out of line to. Zeroed the firewall and found the stab and wing was +2 degrees. That didn't sit too well. checked it again with the laser incidence meter and it was +1/2 degree on all surfaces.so I think I will just leave this be. Guiess my old incidence meter is out of wack.I never did trust the old bubble style anyway. Anybody have some thoughts on this. Thanks in advance for your help. Hope to test fly it tomorrow. Just want all to be correct. My knees will be knocking anyway.
