Great Planes Tiger Moth
Just want to know about the wing incidence, when I put it together like they say to the top wing
has almost 3 degrees down from the bottom wing. IS THIS RIGHT ?

Wow,,someone is really lost
But to answer the question,, it is very unusual to have negitive top wing to the bottom wing.
that will give you a flying wedge condition,,
you ususally want the opposite the top wing to have positve incidence to the bottom

RE: Great Planes Tiger Moth
Thank You had enough, But not realy lost just never seen one that far off and Great Planes was even more confused the numbers they gave me would have made it a 5 degree difference and I know thats not right!

RE: Great Planes Tiger Moth
Here's the proper setup:
Wing Incidence Angle (with the stabilizer at 0 degrees)
Top wing- minus 2 degrees
Bottom wing- 0 degrees
Engine- 2.5 degrees downthrust
Minus 3 degrees isn't too bad. You can likely live with that, but it would be best to shim things to get the wing to minus 2 degrees.
