Re: positive wing incidence Kind of a late reply but you mentioned that you have the plans. If the plans show the wing with positive incidence (even 1 degree) I would leave it alone....IMHO |

Re: positive wing incidence Thanks for the reply Kip, yes it does have washout and downthrust as well. But I think I'll fix it. Dwayne |

Re: positive wing incidence That much incidence will need quite a bit of down elevator and the faster you go the more it will require. Check the wing for washout, if it has then it should be ok. From the center of the leading edge to the center of the trailing edge is the cord line. Use this line for reference to incidence. Note that semi-symmetrical and training airfoils generate more lift with more speed, full symmetrical do not. The horizontal stab dictates the direction the aircraft will go, so your wing incidence should be compared to the angle of it. For all model aircraft 0 deg. incidence has always worked for me. |

positive wing incidence I have an old Midwest Success Series Messerschmidt 40. I crashed it and decided to rebuild the fuse from plans, when I put the incidence meter on it I have 1 degree positive incidence in the wing. Is this ok or do I need to fix it? thanks Dwayne |
