Kevin, thanks for that. I was interested because yesterday my -4 sat on its wheels for the first time and the angle of the fuse looked quite high. But the 10.7 degrees you quote would appear to be in the right ballpark since WITHOUT the engine/prop it is sitting at 13.3. Not sure how much it will reduce onece the engine is there but it is about right if it is to stall with flap in a 3 point attitude.
Am I right in thinking it is close to the point where it would not lift off without first raising the tail? I guess ground effect sorts that anyway?
Just idle curiosity.
Cheers.
