I think what you are asking is do I think the KR2 (or even 2S) has too much incidence, and I personally think it does, especially if you are going as fast as most do these days. I don't think it would hurt a bit to lower it a degree, and maybe even two on the faster ones. Mine is set up for 1 degree of incidence, and 2 degrees of washout, using the AS5046. We'll see how it goes. Of course my horizontal stabilizer is set to negative .75 degrees too, and I have the option of moving it to anywhere I want to trim things up like I want them later on. I would think if you lowered the incidence of the main wings, you'd need to lower the incidence of the h/s as well, but that has yet to be proven. Somebody needs to build an adjustable h/s and prove the best angle, kinda like I'm going to do with the AS5046.
