    Wow - simplicity itself, for those who still actually built their planes and therefore  have shucks! Thanks, Ed!

    Good one Ed.   I use the shucks to protect my stab from dings.  I just rubber band them on.  If I have the plane turned on with the chucks on the stab I can tell the way the elevators are trimmed by the fact that the digital servo's are buzzing.   Set the trim till they stop buzzing and you have got your neutral elevator.

      Tape the foam shucks to the stab and elevator.

        <gulp> here goes: I'vwe done it two ways: 

        1. Measure the incidence of the stab itself without the elevators mounted  -- with either with a meter or with center lines on the stab LE and TE. 

        2. If the elevators are mounted lock them in neutral with tape, sticks, etc, and measure away. 

        Can't wait to hear other solutions to this!
