 I obtained CAD files for the wing and horizontal.  I  then CNC milled templates  for BL 26.25, BL104 and BL171.  I  leveled the plane and measured my wings using a machine level accurate to .0005" per foot or .002 degree. Here are the  results for my IV-P wings which were closed in Redmond. 
 
RH @ BL 26.25 = -1.750 deg 
RH @ BL 104    = +0.982 deg
RH @ BL 171    = +1.117 deg
 
LH @ BL 26.25 = -2.000 deg
LH @ BL 104    = +0.578  deg
LH @ BL 171    = +0.844  deg
 
I am going to rotate the LH wing .26 deg's giving the following results:
 
LH @ BL 26.25 = -1.74 deg
LH @ BL 104    = +.84 deg
LH @ BL 171    = +1.10 deg
 
am somewhat concerned about the discrepancy at BL 104  (0.14 deg after rotation) , but not much I can do about it.   Also, the washout from BL 26.25 to BL 171 is 2.84 deg vs the 1.94 spec.  Note:  I believe the accuracy of the numbers is better than .01 deg.
