<DIV>Scott,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think everyone offered suggestions on what you should do, and I would
agree. To answer your question, we need to make an assumption.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Set aside accuracy of the meter for now and look at repeatability. If the
meter isn't accurate, but constantly provides the same exact reading for a
measurement each and every time you set up the meter we have good
repeatability.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If the repeatability is good, then the reference between your 1/2 degree on
the table would mean that your table is sloped 1/2 degree.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Other folks can chime in on this. As I see it, you may need to consider the
fuse reference line (thrust line). If the fuse is set relative to the table, you
will need to account for the 1/2 degree slope.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As for accuracy of the meter, "Is 1/2 degree, actually 1/2 degree?", I
don't have the experience to offer sound advice / opinion.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, if your meter is repeatable, then I would say that your stabs
should be on the same plain and your wings on the same plain if you use the same
reference point on the meter to set them up (and check all measurements without
moving the plane.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Based on everything I've heard and read about setting up a plane, you will
most like be adjusting the incidence during the trimming based on actual flight
performance.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let's see what the experts say about these thoughts as I'm no expert in
setting up planes.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am currently installing my wing adusters on
my Focus 2 and I am trying to calibrate my Great Planes Incidence Meter. I
placed the meter on a perfectly level table and set it for Zero Degrees. I
decided to rotate the device 180 to see if it would still be level (the
laser was roughly facing north and now is facing south). The
degrees changed positive 1/2 degree. I thought I might have moved the
placement of the laser so I secured everything possible with tape and
rotated it again. Same thing. Does anyone know what might be the
problem???</FONT></DIV>
