Thanks Fred. This evening I mounted the engine and I am quite happy. It's easier than I thought it to be.

Maybe Stephan means the incidence between the wing and the tailplane?  :?: :?:

Yes exactly (longitudal dihedral), my Big Lift was already build partialy when I got it, because I am a cautious person I verfied it and got 3°. I changed it now to 2°.
The wing dihedral I think should be 2° but I was not able to get this. I have now 0.8°, but thats ok. I cannot get more because I added some plug in mounts which are not designed originaly in the wings.

Fred, could you measure on your BigLift the incidence? Has your BL ailerons and flaps, if yes you could measure them  too  :D
Thanks

Frankly speeking Fred I have some problems to believe this incredible numbers. when I see the guy taking the measurement its more then doubtable that this is a reliable manner to measure anything.

Fred
what is your tow project doing? have you been able to push it forward?
If you could do me a favor, please weigh your Big Lift that I can get a reference. I am just about to put mine togehter, and I definitely will put an elelctric engine in.
Cheers

Hi
the first flight of the Skylark 4 Type 50 was February 1962, therefore it is out of the Rétroplane rules which is fixed at "older than 1960"
Cheers
