Hey guys. Question.

Baby Ace.

I’m currently working on the cabane structure and I need to set the incidence. I have a set of Baby Ace wings but want to use a Harry Riblett airfoil and use different ailerons etc.

Harry passed away but I did manage to have numerous conversations with him and we talked about wing incidence but I can’t remember if he said 1 degree or 2 degrees. I just cannot remember and it was so long ago I can’t find any notes.

How important is a one degree difference? While I can fabricate and build things I’m just not the engineering type so I’m looking for some guidance. Appreciate the help. Hope everyone is doing well.
