how to zero great planes incidense laser
I want to check the incidence of my rear stabs, how do I properly zero the laser pointer. If I use my work bench must it be perfectly level? Do I just stand the meter on its little feet.? The instructions say to just put it on the stab and zero the meter? what good does that do me if I am tring to set and measure the rear stab? Must I level the plane? I really don't understand i appreciate all your help. Thanks, Brenden

RE: how to zero great planes incidense laser
It is my understanding, unless otherwise noted, that you set the meter on the stab, set to zero, and then see what your wings are in relation to the stab, not the other way around. I honestly see no way of accuratly zeroing the meter, then trying to get the stab level, etc etc.
Perhaps you could level the thrust line of the plane, then on a perfectly level surface zero the meter. I see no other way to do it.

Level the model's reference line.
Calibrate the laser pointer the the reference line.
It's all in the manual.
