Thanks Mike.
That's a good start. 1 deg down reference to wing chord centerline or reference wing flat bottom?

Modified D&E wide body fuselage, Wings are all metal one-off design with Cub airfoil. CC cowling and yes RV-7 tail pieces. Controls are all push rod except cable rudder. Handles like a dream. Got about 50 hrs on her so-far.
Nice! This kind of project is part of what makes the experimental category so fun

If it's a Cub (or Cub based) fuselage, why not level it as Piper says to?

The fuselage has been modified quite a bit and the wings are a one-off design so wing angle of attack may not be the same when fuselage is same as piper. It's all up for checking. Not saying it's wrong but the original manufacturer passed away and some documentation of the design has not been found. Having to recheck a lot of things. So far it's mostly as expected.
