Re: installing tail wheel spring/ angle of incidence
Looks good.
One little thing to keep in mind, as you raise the tail, the propeller gets closer to the ground.

Re: installing tail wheel spring/ angle of incidence
Jim,
Short answer: 7.8 degrees ground angle of attack when unloaded. My measurements were taken along the chord at BL50 on each side (left and right sides for both the wing and canard).

Re: ED Sterba prop. cone/plates
I’d suspect those parts are generic from Aircraft Spruce, although I no longer see the spun aluminum spinners in their catalog. ☹

Re: installing tail wheel spring/ angle of incidence
Sorry Mike but I couldn’t resist. Can I take it back🥲
I hope you now have all the info needed for the task at hand. You can see there’s s general consensus on how to arrive at the correct angle

Mike----------- You may also look at the center consol for level. Lots of us build it to level and then use that for reference. Your firewall should also be at 90 degrees to the waterline. Have

Re: Tail dragger superiority
Back in the day I took my beloved (cheap to own and fly) N1100Y, an O-200 powered 1962 B model 150 to taildragger. Looked like a baby 180.. but what a heavy tail that one had! Took half the runway

Re: installing tail wheel spring/ angle of incidence
Hi Mike,
If the mains are on a level floor then you hoist the tailwheel to where you want it to get WL15 level. If you measure the vertical height from the floor to the bottom of the tailwheel.
