RE: Corby Starlet
Chris,
What should the incidence be between the wing and stab on the 38% scale Sportsman Aviation Corby? Should they be the same?
I recently purchased this plane, but haven't begun construction yet. I was reading a thread somewhere on this plane recently, and the owner wasn't happy with the way the plane was flying. He had measured the incidence between the wing and stab and found that the wing had a 3 degree postive angle over the stab. He eventually redrilled the front wing dowel holes in the fuselage and lowered the front of wing as far as he could, to 1 degree positive on the wing. This made the plane fly much better, but he had a 1/2" gap between the fuselage and the front top of the wing by doing so. This seems rather drastic fix for a prebuilt kit. I believe that the link below describes the problems I mentioned.
