REFLECTOR: Canard angle of incidence

[Matt Bucko]

Yes, the book and gauge are from the factory. The drawing is from the 
factory showing how they set the bubble at the front line of the level.  
According to the drawing, this is +.2 to +.3 up.  I am just questioning  
5  hundredths of a degree I have over .3
I know setting the angle is important, and that small angle may in fact 
be too much, or it may not matter at all.   I just want to make sure it 
is ok/not before I change it or leave it alone.

Where did your info on the +.35 up come from in reference the angle when 
the bubble is centered?

Matt
