I have exactly the same configuration. If I remember correctly, I set the tail incidence at 0 degrees when I built the new tail. That was just about perfect. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM - Original Message - From: Steven Bedford I checked the archives but foun

Steve I have the RAF48 airfoil and the stock stab airfoil and the stab is set at zero degrees as per plans page 57. This requires a 3/32 shim under the forward stab spar. Worked out perfect . Flys hands off and is trimmed perfectly. Don't recall what was different about Mark's tail airfoils but he

I recall seeing somewhere (or concluding from something I read) that the 'ideal' horiz stab incidence is the wing incidence minus 1.75 degrees. So if your wing is at 3.5 degrees that would mean 1.75 degrees for the horiz stab. Can't remember where I saw that and I think it was in relation to the

I checked the archives but found nothing on this. I have a Kr2s with wings set at 3.5 degrees of incidence per the plans with the raf48 airfoil. I have rebuilt the horizontal stabilizer with Mark L.'s airfoil shapes. I was wondering if anyone had any input on the horizontal incidence angle.
