<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> </DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE id=0><LABEL id=HbSession SessionId="432023968"></LABEL>
<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>
