Building Lasers

[Bob Pastorello]

The purpose of the ones I have is not to check incidence, but to verify alignment "square", and "parallel"...currently, a lot of folks use different methods, some height gauges, some fixtures.  When building a plane, I have always struggled with getting the stab square to the fin, and then the wing parallel to the stab...and these differences sure do make a difference in how a bird trims out.

Incidence is checked with our electronic digital levels, at .1 degree accuracy :-)

  This discussion is getting a little too technical. 
  Seriously though, being new to a lot of this, I would be 
  interested in more details about how to use these laser 
  thingys to check incidence. I am completely new to 
  incidence checking so this probably sounds like a stupid 
  request.
