REFLECTOR: Canard incidence jig dimensions

[nmflyer1 at aol.com]

I ended up with two different incidence jigs for the main wing. Both came from the factory. Best bet is to call the factory and ask.

I have 2 canard incidence jigs. Both different in sizes.
The first one, which came with the kit, had a leading end which is 3 inches from the top of the jig to where it rests on the canard. The trailing edge is 1 15/16 inch from the top to the canard resting point.

The second one I got from another Velo builder.  It is "almost"  the same, but different enough to make a 2 degree difference in the incidence.
The measurement of the leading end is 3 1/8 inch, and the trailing end is 1 7/8.

I do not know if the plywood is shrinking from age, or if it just a "normal" difference from the factory.  Does anyone have accurate measurements of both ends...as in what it is really supposed to be?

Thanks,
Matt Bucko
