Larry,First off I'd sure be positive they ARE at the wrong angle before you didanything. I know you have that one piece wing, but you also have a ton ofroom, so I'd jig it up in position and then if any tweaks have to be made,do it then. I've found that sometimes things look wrong until it's alltogether and then it miraculously fits just fine.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________

Douwe, I figured out they are at the wrong angle last year when I mounted the one-piece wing before it was covered, in order to do a preliminary weight and balance. I hope to mount the finished wing as soon as it warms up, so just now getting around to figuring out what to do with the tab angle problem. However, now that you got me thinking more about it, I think I will wait to bend the tabs as part of mounting the wing struts so I improve my chances of getting it to the correct angle.
