Default Help composite Roo fliers

I'm getting ready to assemble a comp. Roo. I don't see in the manual about setting up the 3/16- 1/8 inch reflex in the elevons.
I'm wondering if the engine shim shown in the manual or the incidence in the wing or both has made the reflex unnecessary. just don't want to make a mistake on this one.

It's a flying wing. ALL flying wings need the reflex to compensate for not having a tail. Use the reflex, 1/8 inch works best.

Default Composite Roo

I just built a Composite Roo without reflex and it flies fine. It has 8 flights on it.

Look at your airfoil, The Roo has reflex built into the wing, it's just most of the guys want more reflex . More also shortens the take off roll.
