Hey Piper 37 - gotta a question on the incidence angle.

Recently I finished pre-cover assembly of my HB. During the assembly I mounted the wings - OMG [:'(] (had to make new longer interplane struts). A fellow forum rat (friend from my club) pointed me to the incidence angles of the wings. The plans call for 0 degrees (with respect to thrust line / datum line) for the horizontal stab, top wing and bottom wing. You made the comment that your top wing is at 2 1/2 degrees. Is that measurement with 0 for stab & bottom wing? Is that a positive (leading edge above datum line) or a negative degree?

Btw - Iunderstand the difficultly of accurately measuring incidence with elevator & ailerons mounted.

TTFN,
