Now, telling me it's 1 or 2 degrees nose down at cruise is meaningful. So
it's in the right ball park, depending on what altitudes you normally fly.

Try the same test at 10,000'. You'll find it pitched nose up a degree or two
as the indicated air speed is significantly slower. I never worried about the
KRs doing fast passes with their noses down. Every plane will do that as they
are flying significantly faster than their designed cruise.

Cruise at 5000 feet, 155 mph indicated = -1.5 degrees, with
corrections (-.5 + 3.5 ) = +1.5 degrees angle of incidence at the

The "critic" is spouting nonsense. Some aerobatic planes have symmetrical
wings with no difference between the top and bottom. Do they need to have

No. You are finding just what you were looking for . . . some odds and
ends of poorly wrought criticism supporting a position you are/were
predisposed to have regarding a book that has somehow escaped your

Here are the numbers I came up with on today's flight. They are not
scientifically accurate but close. I used a "Smartlevel", accurate to
within 1/10 degree and the new scales I recently purchased. I checked
my math several times and re-read the post several time so I think it is

Our discussion on wing lift reminded me of our conversations years ago
on what is the best "angle of incidence" to set the wing on the KR. The
plans call for 3.5 degrees at the root with a 3.0 degree washout. Mark

The first critic's assertion about humongous airspeed and 45 deg angles
does not follow from anything actually found in the book. An attempt at
assigning a fallacy to the author for which there can be no defense. The
critic forgot to include "See how smart I am?"

After our recent discussion on wing lift theory I went looking for a
source to buy the book. When researching a product to buy, with all the
sources of information we have now days, I generally pass over the 5
star reviews that say the product is as good as I would expect it to
be. Instead,
