SECTION 13 - SETTING (RIGGING) AND MISCELLANEOUS DATA
13.1 Incident angle of wing with respect to main fuselage tube: 8°
Note: The incident angle is defined as the angle between a line parallel to the fuselage tube
and a line joining the undersides of the leading and trailing edge tubes at their roots.
13.2 Angle of stabilizer with respect to the main fuselage tube: 7°
Note: The stabilizer angle is defined as the angle between a line parallel to the fuselage tube
and a line joining the undersides of the leading edge and trailing edge of the stabilizer.
Angle difference between wing and stabilizer: 1°

13.4 Air pressure for tyres and shock absorber:
Main wheels 1.8 - 2.5 bar 26 to 36 psi.
Front wheel 1.5 - 1.8 bar 22 to 26 psi.
Shock absorbers 29 - 33 bar 425 to 486 psi
A special pressure pump, available from Red Aviation, is used for setting the shock
absorber pressures.
