Hi Sunny2 . .

Where did you get the Lazer incidence meter??? . . sure looks a cool instrument.

Cheers, JB
Got it from Great Planes Hobbies. Sadly, it is discontinued. [link=http://www.greatplanes.com/discontinued/gpmr4020.html]LASER INCIDENCE METER[/link]


As for the incidence problem, I took a zero reading from the canopy line and checked it 3 times against the wing and the stabilizer. The wing is zero and the stabilizer is plus 0.8 degrees to the canopy line. This is exactly what UAL767 found on his model. So looks like the easy fix on the wing is out of the question. Removing, adjusting and then replacing the stab is too much work for me. I'm going to send an email to Fedon to see if they have any production models that are true or if the jig is off in China so all Angels come with this fault. I'm not a jerk and would be happy to buy another at some discounted price for the sake of "perfection". I'll be sure to keep everyone updated. Too bad . . . it's such a great plane otherwise.
