Hi Lowell: I've finished my phase one on my Kitfox 4, and returned the Kitfox to my home airport, San Carlos, Ca, where I can REALLY work on the airplane. In cruise, my flaperons want to blow down appoximately 3-4 degrees. At 0 flaps, the Kitfox really want to climb. I can trim out the climb by lowering the flaps about 5 degrees. My stab leading edge is mounted as high as possible. When checking incidence angles today, I realized that the engine is mounted about 2 degrees POSITIVE. Is this normal for the Kitfox design? From my model airplane days, we NEVER had upthrust, generally 1-2 degrees of downthrust, depending on the model design. Please respond directly to my email at brucee7837@aol.com. thanks, bruce estes
