Default RE: Modifying the wing incidence



One of the great things about our hobby is that lot's of our trainers have rubber banded on wings. And that highwing trainers that don't have that will usually have a couple of hold down bolts at the trailing edge. It's dead simple to wedge up the T.E.s of those planes and see what happens.</p>

Be prepared to have the pitch response change. Which way? Your guess is as good as anyone's, just be prepared. Your elevator stick probably isn't going to move the plane like it did before. Know that up front and you'll be better able to deal with whatever changes you see from what you dealt with before the test.</p>

Good thing is that the test pilot of model airplanes seldom dies. </p>
