Hello All,

I'm new to the forum and I'm also the guy that bought the Tipo off Ebay recently. I've been looking it over the last few days trying to get ready for the build over the winter. I have a couple of questions about the location of the horizontal stab. There are no marks on the fuselage. I assume that there would be no incidence on the stab. I think I can get a good fore/aft position but I don't have a clue where the centerline should be in relation to the fuse centerline (vertical offset). For that matter, I'm not really sure exactly where the fuse centerline is. If I knew what the wing incidence was (if any) and if I knew where the thrust line was in relation to the center line (assuming the thrust line endpoint is the center of the nose hole) , I could probably come up with a good fuse datum/center line and then I would only need to know the vertical offset of the stab (+/-) in relation to the center line. I think it's the Tipo 825 (not sure yet). It has Anhedral in the stab. Any info you can share would be greatly appreciated.

I see in the build notes that there is a build article in the Feb 80' edition of 'RC Model Builder' - anybody know where I can find that?
