Hi people, just wondering if anyone there can give me a basic guideline regarding the angle of incidence, for want of a better (correct) term, in relation to the ground.
I do understand that angle of incidence refers to the wing to fuselage angle, what I want to know is what angle in relation to the ground,( while sitting on it's undercarriage) is ideal for a taildragger, so as to make the best of my lift for short field work.
I have my own ideas, but I wish to see if I am in the ballpark, so to speak. thanks

Mick
