dymond Tiger Moth 72" wing incidents
Hi everybody what I have is an old Dymond Tiger Moth 72 inch wing span. I tried to fly it last weekend and what a hand full it was (Nothing like my 120 size Tiger Moth) It acted tail heavy and very sensitive on the elevator if I gave it power it would climb I was able to land it with no damage. The balance is at 89 millimeter from the leading edge of the bottom wing as per the instructions. The airplane is just a little nose heavy. Now this here is the problem I placed a bubble level on the horizontal stabilizer and center the bubble. I then placed an incidence meter on the bottom wing and it reads +4 degrees and the top wing reads +2 degrees the wing incidence does not look right to me My thinking is the top wing should read -1 to -2 degrees I haven't checked the thrust line yet I want to get the wing incidence right first. anybody that has one or anybody that has experience with bipes I need your all's help Michael

I cant set the bottom wing to 0 I did some checking on my 120 size tiger moth and the wing incidence get this the bottom wing is +2 and the top wing is +4 and the plane fly's nice so my guess is the top wing is going to stall first on the 120 size is that right?
