[NSRCA-discussion] Incidence Meter

[krishlan fitzsimmons]

John, 

Are you flying masters at the nats? If so, .5 degrees difference from side to side is ok.. Please check all the other Masters pilots that will also be at the nats that you can.. Their incidences may also be off.

Jim,

Thanks for the ideas!

I just got it and I'm in the process of "proving" it.

Lots to learn and experiment with.

It's what makes all this fun!

John, are you using it in an absolute level manner or are you zeroing it on your reference measurement?  If your level read .25 degrees and you zero'd it, I would expect to see .5 when you turned it 180.  If it read .25 and you didn't zero it, it should read .25 in the other direction. 

Find something or make something exactly level and repeat the test and report back.  it sounds like a great deal.

What does yours show when you rotate it 180 degrees?
In other words you are reading it from the right side of the plane and you turn it to read from the left side.
Just turning the Wixey device, nothing else.
Mine shows a .5 degree difference.
