RE: Angle of incidense affect on flight
O.K. Thanks for the help. What I have is a 33% Stearman at 46 pounds with a RCS215 for power. This is a Balsa USA kit. When I checked the AOI it shows that both the upper and lower wings at the same AOI. The bottom wing would be very hard to make a mistake on the AOI due to the way the kit is is designed, but the upper wing is a different story. The instructions that come with the kit give no numerical values as to what the AOI should be. It just explains on how to set up the center section of the upper wing. I did my best to stick to those values. I'm a very experianced builder so I don't think I messed up there. But both wings being at 1.5 positive AOI just seems strange to me. My 33% Waco YMF5 calls for "0" AOI on the bottom and 1.5/2 negitive on the upper wing.
I just wanted to find out if the thing would do something really bad on its maiden flight due to the AOI being what it is.
Again thank you for your time.
