Horizontal tail incidence and downwash estimating

Article Abstract:

Model aircraft flying at cruise speeds require that the horizontal tail's incidence are balanced with the wings' downwash to reduce drag and maximize speed. Several tips on how to properly estimate downwash and maintain optimal cruising speed are discussed.
