Say Joe-is your incidence set with the wing cord or did they maybe use the flat underside of the wing, any chance you can check and let me know? I used a robart incidence meter on the wing and an angle guage on the float to adjust mine to 2 deg pos.
Harold,
I just went out and measured the incidence on my Nexstar. 2.5 degs Positive using a Great Planes Accupoint Laser Meter. The guy that set mine up uses his own method - he doesn't own a incidence meter - but he has been doing it for years and his setups work. I first zeroed the meter on the top of the floats and then mounted it on the wing at the root to get the reading and then back to the top of the floats to verify I hadn't disturbed the zero setting. The step is at the CG as best as I can determine.
I have the droops on at the moment and flew with them this weekend but can't really say what difference they make.
Although I have looped and rolled the plane, most of the time is touch 'n gos. We try to drag the water rudders without the floats touching!! Fun and challenging!
HTH,
Joe
