Hey AllI've got the one piece wing mounted on the fuselage and am working on attachingthe flying struts. Will the length of the flying wires change drasticly as Ijocky the wing for balancing? I am planning on using cable clamps temporarilyuntil I figure it out a little closer.Dick N.________________________________________________________________________________

Dick,Just went through this about a month ago. I had set up mine with cabanestruts straight up from longerons. Then found the weight too far aft.Moved the wing leading edge back exactly 3", and I think it was only about10 full turns on the turnbuckles on the wing struts. I used the longturnbuckles, which have alot of travel. If you are too, just make the cablegoing to the front fuse fitting slightly longer than the rear, just in case.I still had to remake the tube supports going from leading edge to enginemount over again ( about 1 3/4" longer).Still all this was the easy part. The hard part was remaking/modifing thecowling for strut clearance, and new holes for cross cabling and controlcable clearance.by the way, did mine all right to the plans, A-65 with engine mountextended about 2", and put in the nose tank (which saved me in the W&B.)
