1.1 degrees is the correct figure for the XS. Added to the 1.4 degrees in
the flaps (also shown variously as 1.0 or 1.4 in my manual), you get the
advertised 2.5 degrees total washout for the wing.
Don't forget to delay installation of the mass balance weights until you can
fit them to the wing. The profile shown in the book is too tall, and will
hit the wing before full down deflection is achieved.
