Well there is no longer room for the wife's car in the garage.
I started rigging the wings for the final pre-cover adjustments. Getting the I-struts and slave struts tweaked.
The right side wings came in great with one shim washer on the top rear of the I-strut. Top wing 0.0 degree dihedral and 2.0 degree incidence. Lower wing 2.5 degrees dihedral and 2.0 degrees incidence. Right at spec.
Left wing not so great. I feel like the proverbial monkey and the football here. Could use some advice.
I can get both left wings in spec for dihedral but the wing attach bolts at the lower left wing root have me lock in to about 2.4 degrees of incidence on the lower wing. I can "twist" that out near the wing tip to 2 degrees. If need be. My question(s)...Will a 0.4 degree variation in dihedral from right side to left side be unmanageable, unsafe ? Should I plug and re-drill the left rear wing attach fitting? My hunch is that even 0.4 degrees is too much. It seems the only other solution is the move the left attachment point. (Next time maybe drill the fitting when you rig it Mike)....
