INCIDENCE settings

[Bob Richards]

Ron,
 
That is a pet peeve of mine as well.
 
Remember the Hobie Hawk glider? It flew nose down -- WAY down. It was designed that way. It was not a balance issue at all.

This discussion also tapped into one of my pet peeves: Guy sees an 
airplane flying around with the tail low and announces, "That airplane 
is tail heavy". Probably wrong. The incidence relationship between 
the wing and the horizontal tail is probably incorrect. The CG has an 
effect, but the condition is usually caused by a bad trim setup. Now I 
feel better.
