Default RE: Incidence experts needed!


ORIGINAL: tankertoad

Maybe I should never have looked, but I put an incidence meter on my plane and WOW! What a suprise.
I bought a WH 28% Edge V1.1 last year and am just now getting around to starting...er, finishing it. This is my first big gasser, so I wanted to do it right. The dowels on the left wing didn't line up with the holes on the fuse, so I put a meter on it to make sure I didn't change any angles while adjusting the holes.
I needed something to calibrate from so I started with the right side stab and set the meter at zero. Here's what I found:

Right stab root 0" (calibrated from here)
Right stab tip 0"

Right wing root -2"
Right wing tip -1.25" (positive washout?)

Left stab root -2"
Left stab tip -2"

Left wing root (this is my problem child, but I don't know where to set it)
Left wing stab

If anyone has any guidance, I'd greatly appreciate it.


or...

Right stab root +2"
Right stab tip +2"

Right wing root 0"
Right wing tip +.75"

Left stab root 0"
Left stab tip 0"

Food for thought.
