Hi Larry,

The wing should be at +0.5 degrees and the stab at 0 degrees.

Are you saying that you have to reposition the stab anti rotation pin? Or are you saying that you need to reposition the wing adjusters?

You shouldn't have to move the wing adjusters. On my Visa, which was an early model, I had to lower the stab anti rotation pin a bit so that it would align properly. Not a big deal.

I am not sure about using the canopy floor for alignment. I didn't find it to be exactly square from one side to the next. So, I put my plane in a cradle and adjusted the thing so that it was sitting in a level and square attitude. I put the wings on with the fuse at the level position (for the correct flight attitude I wanted to see the fuselage at) and then adjusted the wings to be 0 degrees. I then put the stabs on and adjusted them to be at 0 degrees. This was the easiest way for me to get everything levelled out. Then I went back and cranked +0.5 into the wings. It turned out great. Maybe later production models are OK to use the canopy floor as a levelling basis. You can try it and see how it turns out. But always go back and level the fuselage on your table and see how it looks with wings at +0.5. Make sure it is sitting in the attitude you want. The wing adjusters shouldn't need to be moved. You can also check and see where the wings end up relative to the molded dimple mark on the fuse. The wings should be lined up pretty close to that mark. The dimple in the fuse at the stab locations doesn't match the right position, at least not on mine.
