I have a buddy that is building a 40% Super Solution. He will be very interested in this thread! He is working with Bob Trueworthy in drawing up the plans and the design.

Can't answer any of your questions, but subscribed. This is one of the best of the Golden Age racers. You doing the green & yellow paint scheme?

I'll post a couple pictures of mine tonight, which is set at 0 incidence.

With your Stab at +3, your Top Wing at +4, I would say set your Bottom Wing at +3.
My reasoning is this; I would want the Top Wing to stall first and with this set up, your Top Wing would have a resultant of +1 incidence. Just my 2 cents ....

I have always given at least a half degree difference on any bipe.I like a little mush before I stall.The plans seem to be approx +2 for the bottom wing which is why I question it. Thats 2 degrees difference at the root,seems to be a bit much. Keep it coming though all the info I can get betters my decision making.
I would like to know what the other incidences are on your plane?

Reposting still need to talk some more on this. Any discussion would be greatly processed.

I agree but really wanted more discussion, once its set I will only have a limited amount of adjustment to make any changes via flyin wires, Still waiting on those pics though zzw.
This has been an incredible project so far I have both wings mostly done, 3 piece bottom,2 piece top and am about ready to mount to fuse. Also have a guy in PA. doing the same project which will help both of us to bounce ideas around.He will be designing the gear for us and says he can provide me with a set also.
