tail - angle of incidence

[George]

After powder-coating, we are getting our fuselage ready for covering. Does anybody flying (Skybolt with IO360) have any opinion on the angle of incidence for the horizontal stabilizer? The plans call for .5 to 1, but my friend and helper in this project (without whom I would be lost) who already build a Skybolt with an IO540 said he would love to have more. It would - of course - be not too easy to add washers once the fuselage is covered.
Anybody out there with an opinion on this? Should it depend on engine?
