The manual says to set the horizontal stabilizer incidence at 0 degrees and
the wing incidence at +2.0 degrees.  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."
