However, the factory told me that this is wrong. While the proper wing incidence is 2.0 degrees, the factory says that the proper H. stabilizer incidence is -0.6 degrees. It's more important, I'm told, to get the difference right (i.e., 2.6 degrees) than it is to get either incidence right relative to the fuselage. Following the manual would yield a difference of only 2 degrees and could result in a nose heavy condition in slow flight. It is surprising that the factory hasn't issued a revision to correct this important error. I guess that's why these planes are called "experimental."
