Good afternoon. Could someone please provide a summary of the factory S-2A rigging specifications (serial # 215X range)? Incidence, washout (if any), dihedral, etc. We have rigging boards and a copy of the Doug Sowder "Rigging the Pitts" procedures. We just wanted to compare our current readings to original specifications.
If someone had a recommendation for suggested lower right wing washout for the S-2A to compensate torque that would be appreciated. Is the .4 degrees leading edge down a good place to start that is referenced in the rigging instructions?
Thank you,
Jim C
