Graham thanks - so the idea is more one of the incidence being the same mid-
wing rather than a specific angle?

sorry, I was too brief again, (getting too lazy to type)
The effective angle of attack imho is more dependant on the relationship between
the center of the leading edge radius and the trailing edge than the bit in
between. this can be anything between a flat plate and a thick ellipse and still
have the same angle of attack. Lift is more or less linearly related to AoA
in the cruise. This is when a built in roll will be most irritating. You will
need roll trim, which is useful anyway to account for assymetrical loading.
