I just did a bunch of measurements on the completed plane, and found that I had to add a wing cradle pad to keep the wing even in the cradle. In doing so, it reduced the negative incidence of the tail from 1.5 to 0.5 degrees, which is good (not perfect), but it increases the engine thrust (relative to the wing) from 1.8 to 2.8 degrees down.

The kit is built with downthrust in the engine mounting box, but the instructions don't state how much is built in.

Will 2.8 degrees be too much for the Giles? Wouldn't a "0-0-0" setup be ideal?
