What I would like to know is how do you adjust the angle when the forward (W27) and aft sockets (W26) have already been bonded in place. From my investigations today, I believe that the leading edge pin and socket on the starboard wing needs to come up a fraction. I expect this is not the first time someone has had to make this adjustment and Im interested what solutions have been used by members of this forum.

It might be worth calling him. But basically he said that even if you build perfectly the incidence may change with finishing. Also that composite shifts over time. My build is like yours .1 off. I plan to add vg to soften the stall.

I have a port aileron tab to keep wing level. Big vertical stabiliser and rudder gives the slipstream from prop rotating clockwise a left yaw increasing lift on right wing roll port. That's a theory.
