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.

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
close to a
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
