HI,BOYS

I WAS FLYING MY SIG RISER TODAY WITH A STRONG HEAD WIND AND NOTICE THAT MY SIG HAD NO PENETRATION.SO AN EXPERIENCE PILOT TOLD ME ABOUT ADDING BALLAST AT MY CG POINT AND ALSO THAT MY WING INCIDENCE MIGHT BE NEGATIVE.SO NATURALLY BEING A GLOW PILOT BEFOR GETTING IN THE WORLD OF WONDERFUL THERMAL SEARCHING(STILL USELESS)I NEVER CHECKED FOR SUCH A THING SINCE I RELIED ON THE GLOW POWER AND TRIM TO FLY.SO I WENT TO THE HOBBY STORE AND BOUGHT MY SELF A WING INCIDENCE METER FROM ROBART.TELL ME IF THIS IS CORRECT,WHAT I DID WAS ZERO THE STABILIZER AND THEN CHECKED THE WING AN IT HAD 1 DEGREE OF POSITIVE.WHAT I DID NOTICE WAS THE WASH OUT NEAR THE TAPER WAS THE THE TRAILING EDGE WAS LOWER THEN THE LEADING EDGE.WOULD THIS SITUATION CREATE GLIDE RATIO LESS THEN DESIRABLE OR IS IT THAT THE RISER WASN'T WELL DESIGNED.HAS ANY BODY HAVE ANY GOOD THERMAL STORYS ABOUT THIS PLANE?

THANK YOU.

DANIEL
