Decalage (wing − stab): 2°

Possible effect: Flat glide, neutral characteristics; typical starting range.

Decalage is the difference between wing and stabilizer incidence. More positive decalage typically increases climb and stall tendency; less gives a flatter glide or dive tendency. These relationships are indicative only; always verify with safe test glides.

⚠Sliders illustrate geometry only; they do not simulate aerodynamics. Each change requires a safe test glide.
