So I went to work today on adjusting the wing incidence on my Delro E-Motion because it was needing a couple degrees of up elevator for level flight and I figured I'd rather have it "correct" meaning zero elevator trim for level flight. Anyways, after carefully checking my starting point and adding a tiny additional amount of positive incidence, I decided to check the stabilizer halves for comparison to the wings just for fun. What was intriguing is that there is a 0.5 degree difference between the two. The right half has a 0.5 negative incidence compared to the left half of the stabilizer. Could this be by design to counter act the torque of the prop? If not by design then what, and what would be the best way to adjust for it?


The good news is even with this tiny quirk the plane flies awesomely well, and my biggest concern is that I will mess it up in trying to "refine" the trim, but as always trying and learning is half the fun.
