Thanks Mark & KRNet, I have Rand's wingskins instead of Dan Diehl's, so I'm pretty much locked into the RAF48 airfoil, but I keep toying with the thought of going through the process of raising the rear spar to reduce the incidence some. I probably should just leave it alone and press on so I can get this plane finished. Thanks, Bud
