wing mounting
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 12:01 am
Hi Rallph
When putting the wings on the Elite the idea is to set the for and aft
location based on the rear spar fitting as you do not want any bending or
preload of the fittings. It is best to put the tail up and to level the
airplane as the weight of the wing will cause it to slide back. You may find
that the wings have different front and rear gaps inside the cage main spar
attach points don't worry about it the airplane will not know the difference
and it will fly just fine. Make your spacers up so they fit snug between the
front spar and the cage as you do not want to bend the attach points on the
fuselage or have the wing move
