incidence meter..
« on: December 18, 2009, 10:18:27 AM »
  Mornin' Fellow's  I have an older incindence meter  that isn't  the laser type, what type do you use and do you like it?
 I do want to be as accurate as I can with setting this stuff..
  I also am using a line level on the crank shaft of the engine, what do you use on your engine??
                       Thanks a lot,             #^

I use a couple of old Robart incidence gages.  I looked at the laser ones but was not impressed.  I use 1 on each wing half to make sure there are no twists.  It makes it easier than trying to move one from one wing half to the other.
It's only paranoia if they aren't really after you.

I prefer the old
robart meter. I have two laser meters and the Robart is much more accurate. Plus the batteries are not dead when I need it most.

I fell for the laser hype also, durn thing isn't worth using. Bought a Robart, then about a year ago bought a Great Planes digital. The old Robart can be read just as accurate as the digital and it's really hard to beat. Only thing better is having two.
