Adrian was a real gentleman, I have very fond memories of him, especially when I served on the Committee during the late early days of the association.

Re: engine choice!!

Mine flew very well on a 3W120 so I would think your DLE111 would be ok for scale flights.

Re: Engine options for PFM Giant Zlin

I had two of these models when they were first introduced by Pat French and both flew really well on an OS 60, I even think the 30cc is too large.

Re: Measuring wing/tail incidence?????

Mike, simply just temp. glue a balsa strip with top edge at the centres of the leading and trailing edges, place equal height blocks on the strips and lay a straight edge on the blocks. Place your meter on the straight edge and bingo you can measure the incidence or determine by calculation.
