Default Midwest Citabria wing incidence

I can't find the wing incidence on the plans. Does anyone know the wing vs horz stab incidence? I wrote SIG without thinking and they said their kit is 1 deg for the wing and 0 deg for the stab. I haven't heard back from Midwest yet. Thanks

bbmas,

I called Midwest with the same question about the wing and stabilizer incidence. The tech didn't give me any specs but he explained that the wing, stabilizer incidence will be correct as long as you don't alter the surfaces on the fuselage where they mount. By the way, I finally got to maiden the Citabria two weeks ago. It's a beautiful flyer with no bad habits like some of the Cubs. I used a Saito 91 for power. You will love it.

Built mine stock and had a Saito 90 on it and LOVED IT! Get a fiberglass cowl from Stans....good investment!

I got an e-mail back from Midwest. They measured off the plans and said it looked like +1 for the wing and 0 for the stab.
