I am building a Cardinal Profile. I just measured the incidence. The motor is 0 degrees. The wing is 0 degrees also. The stab is +1 degree. What should I do?...leave it or maybe move stab down to + 1/2 degree??? What do you think??

Why have any incidence. Wish I could measure 1 degree

Move to 0- but make sure that any uncertainty is on the side of the LE being up, instead of down.

I may be doing a disservice by mentioning my incidence experiments - it's not the sort of thing that follows the "stunt flier's maxim", IOW - if a little is good, a lot IS NOT better!

Thanks Brett...

Greg...I got mine from Tower Hobbies. They have a laser model that works pretty good.
