Hi
How much surgery did it take to modify the Wing incidence and how did you go about it?

Mike
First you need an Incidence meter. Measure the current incidence, should be zero on both wings.
I simply elongated both dowel pin holes (per wing panel) with a rat tail file until I acheived 0.5 deg+. Once I had the correct incidence I bonded some 1/16 lite ply doughnuts around the dowel pins to fix the position. Since the wing no longer slides into the 1/16" cutout in the fuse, I elongated the 4mm hole in the wing hold down stub. That's it. It took about an hour to do, no biggie.

After reading Bryan Herbert's thoughts on trimming a pattern plane, I think getting incidence and the CG right for your type of flying is very important.
