Larry,

   

    

   

    Regarding the wing's incidence with steel legs, yes, you are probably correct, when changing the legs on the Firestar.   

   

    I think what I may be confusing is my conversation with Brian, (at) TNK tech support, when he explained to me that when they were doing the flight testing on the newly invented Xtra, that they found they had to lower the incidence on the flying surfaces (front and back) due to the wedge shaped nose, and its' tendency to "plow" into the air, causing a nosedown pressure.  IIRC, tho, it seemed as though this also tied in with the steel leg mods, too.

   

   Whatever the other Larry decides to do regarding his new gear legs, he should run it past Brian, for sure.

   

    Thanks for the correction.

   

  Mike Welch
