Could someone instruct me on mounting a one piece v tail on a fuselage?  I have a Snipe (wingeron) with a fiberglass fuse.  I was wondering how to get the decalage correct without too much fanfare.  I know that I have to get the v tail mounted so that the plane flies with a nose down attitude.  Obviously incidence meters won’t work on the v tail.  The instructions call for making a couple slots in the fuse so that the one piece v tail can slide in on the fuse and then glue it in after you set the correct incidence.  I’m assuming the correct incidence is -1.5 to -2.5 degrees?  But how do I jig it up so that I get that correct measurement?  I know that I could adjust the wing incidence fairly easily because it is a wingeron, but I would want to mount the v tail so that I don’t have to set the wing incidence to far off.

 

Aloha to all on RCSE,
