Hello to everybody,
I'm at a loss here: My Eclipse had 2 sets of stab incidence adjusters but none for the wing. As I understand it (and as I did it in the past), I need 4 adjusters in the fuselage to be able to rotate it around the wing tube, and in the past I had the wing incidence adjusters from Gator R/C. Now I don't know if I should wait for the Gator accessories or install the additional stab incidence adjuster that came with the kit -- is it enough for a 2M wing??
Any pics of your installation would also be helpful!!
Thanks a lot to anyone replying

The Eclipse should have come w/ 1 pair of Gator wing adjustors. They show it set up using 1 per wing half, and a wing bolt in the front as the other anti-rotation device. I bought a full set for my Eclipse, and used 2 per side as in the Gator instructions. The extra stab adjustors must have been a mistake. When you are finished, you will really like this airplane.

Hi Ual,
my kit must have contained one stab set too many.
Not too bad, though, because I can use the extra set in another plane.
Thanks for the clarification!
