Question I'm working on building a bi-plane. The instructions provide a dimension for the wing incidence. They also reference using a "J" inch measurement for setting the wing incidence. I've never heard of a "J" inch. Any ideas?
Answer Hi Paul,
Wow, you've got me on this one. I've never heard of a "J" inch. The only thing I can think of is that "J" might be referencing something, a measurement, shown on the plan. I also don't understand why they are referencing inches. Incidence is measured in degrees, and the top wing will usually have slightly more incidence than the bottom wing on a biplane.
