Default RE: Incidence setting ?

ORIGINAL: Stickbuilder

I'm going to open up this can of worms again, but with the wing at zero (relative to the datum line) then would not the horizontal stabilizer be at 3 degrees positive with the leading edge of the H-stab higher?

And once again............
The stab is set according to how far the wing is ahead of it, and above or below it. And what airfoil the wing is made with. It also matters how fast you expect to fly the airplane most of the time. And how heavy the airplane is expected to be.

This is not sound byte simple.
