Frans,
and the incidence of the fuselage will affect the incidence of the
tailplane.
just going back to my model aircraft days of 50 years ago so no
science on my part,
with the advent of digital levels it would have been possible to
specify 2.4 or 2.3 degrees, my feeling was that this would have
lessened the amount of down trim required.
Troy, Chris and I all have classic wings, perhaps this affects the trim.
