[NSRCA-discussion] Airplane angle of attack

[J N Hiller]

When designing my Option-120 I had no starting setup so I built the first
airplane with adjustable wing, stab and motor mount. As stab and wing angles
were changed to adjust the flying height of the tail (wing / stab offset) I
needed to reset the down thrust at the field for flight evaluation. The
fuselage angle was changed on the #2 airplane by positioning the
nonadjustable stab, maintaining the wing to stab offset and angles.

Assuming that there were incidence adjusters for the wing and motor then I
would assume that they could be set during trim flights. It would take a lot
longer without starting positions but the end result should be the same.
Once the motor, wing and stab were set then the fuse angle shouldn't make
any difference(?)
