One of the major things that I would do if I had it to do over again.Brought this up in an earlier post, but had to do the second wing today, andI kicked myself again.For those of you who are building the three piece wing and haven't startedit yet.....Set up the brackets for the hinge points FIRST!1 Cut all the spars to shape2 Snap a chalk line, and mate the center section with each spar ( mark allmating pieces...left wing/right wing/front spar /rear spar /leadingedge/trailing edge)3 Get all joints to be zero clearance, and straight.4 locate and drill brackets.5 Don't put any ply on the spars yet, for ease of installing ribsater( when wing is about done, you can install one side of ply on each spar.When dry , drill thru existing holes. Then put ply on other sides and whendry, drill back thru)6 Then when wings are done, just bolt them together. I'm just afraid that when it comes time to assemble the plane forrigging, my wings might be a crooked mess. Theres no such thing as movingholes in wood a little bit. They'll have to be plugged and redrilled. You guys that are flying...did you lay these out before or after wing wasbuilt?walt evans________________________________________________________________________________
