REFLECTOR: Levelling the aircraft - base point ?

[Tom Falls]

It's different for each model. Check the manual. For the SERG ". . . place
the nose of the aircraft at the same level as the back lowest section at the
center of the rear of the cowling." Chapter 4 page 4-6.

My instruction manual specified fuselage dimensions relative to the nose,
for example the bottom of the cowl opening should be 3 inches lower than the
nose. One day I used a water level to confirm the fuselage was level, then
drilled two 1/8" holes in the fuselage about 2 feet apart perfectly level.
Now when I want to level the aircraft I stick a couple of 1/8" drill bits in
the holes and lay a level on top of the two pins.

Hello Gang,

 

I have been reading up watching video's and going through the reflector side
but haven't found out yet if there is a specific level point in the aircraft
? When one mentioned "level the aircraft" (like Peter just did in the fuel
site gauge thread), what do you use ?

There are many different points that are used during the course of building,
but is there one base point within the fuselage that I can use to reference
level with ?

 

Thanks,
