OK, I got a chance to check out my Edge with my Laser incidence meter. I set my meter to zero on the surface of the coffee table, set the plane up on the coffee table and spaced up the tail with DVD movies until the stab was exactly 0 degrees (left and right equal w/elevator neutral), checked left and right wings (Ailerons neutral , left=.25 degree positive, right wing .5 degree positive, mounted meter squarely to spinner backplate as it was designed for .25 degree upthrust. I guess the 1.5 degrees + thrust I added only brought it to around 0. V-snap, I took a look down the "Eyeballed" thrustline while the stab was at 0, and it does look like the engine crank line is offset up about 1 inch or so. The way I've set CG is at the noseheavy side of the range specified in the manual, and many other guys with the exact same ARF have theirs set way aft (more than 1.5 inches back from mine). I do know one guy who said he had to add upthrust but had no idea how much. I guess I'll have to put in a degree at a time until it the problem goes away. This just seems wrong, but what do I know. What do you guys think now that I've posted all my measurements?
