Can anyone recommend a good, inexpensive, instrument for setting the AOA on my Firestar? With the wing mounting modification (TNK approved) I have to make sure I get it close when I drill the hole for the front bracket.

   Bill,

    

   I used an ordinary 4' level to set the wing    incidence on my Mark III.  For 1 degree add 0.838" block or spacer on the    very end of the level.  The angle I needed to set the bottom    of the wing to on the MKIII was 9 degrees, that equates to a 7.5"    block between the level and the wing at the leading edge of the wing.     

    

   Jack Hart...Check my math so I don't mislead    anyone, please.

Thanks, Jack. My front brackets on the wings have three holes, and I have to put in a 2 1/2" forward spacer. I don't know if the original builder of these wings was experimenting, or goofed in his method. I have to start over because of the difference in airframe mounting brackets. Can't do much more on that until the cold weather breaks. Another wing repair starting next week if the tarp doesn't get frozen to the ground.
