REFLECTOR: Leveling the plane

[Pat Shea]

Hmmm,

The plans clearly state how to establish the fuselage
level position - it would be pretty hard to build the
plane without it. Most builder's add marks for future
reference. My plane is painted and I can level the
fuselage (fore & aft, left & right) and check the
wing/canard incidence within about 2 minutes, most of
which is spent jacking up the plane.

If the builder didn't leave quick & reliable reference
marks on your plane, then I would suggest referring to
my last e-mail on how to establish the fuselage level
position and adding some.    

It's not too much to ask - just something you'll have
to do yourself if you want a quick reference.
