H9 Ultimate incidence question
Checking the incidence on my Ultimate this weekend and found this:
Plane fully assembled, tail raised until incidence meter on the bottom wing reads 0.
Top wing at center reads -1/2 degree
But the tail reads 0 degress and I believe I read where it should be +2 degrees (leading edge up). Shouldn't this incidence be built into the frame work of the plane?
Thanks

RE: H9 Ultimate incidence question
HGV,
Having a 1/2 degree negative will allow the top wing to keep flying a tad longer than the bottom wing. I did this on my GP Ultimate and it was a nice setup. I seemed to take a bit out of the snaps but that's about all
I did 0-0-0 on my WH Ultimate and the stall was much more sudden which made for great snaps but when the plane decided to stop flying it was somewhat sudden
I'm in the middle of doing one of these but probably will not have it done until early next year and I was planning on getting it just like yours
