Subject: wing root alignment
Date: Mon, 04 Jul 2005 19:58:14 -0700

I am ready to drill through the leading edge skins into the LE ribs. I am
worried about getting the forward attach fitting in the right place
relative
to the rear one since +or- 1/32" inboard/outboard measured at the fitting
could translate to inches of for/aft misalignment at the tip when the wing
is bolted to the fuselage. With the LE skin clecod to the one hole on
each
rib near the main spar, I can push the front spar in and out quite a bit.
The only thing mentioned for alignment in the manual is the standard "make
sure you can see your line on the rib, and start drilling". It seems like
alignment at this step should be more precise. Is there a good way to check
the attach fittings for squareness without a giant size framing square?
Thanks.
Jesse

I looked at a thread started by Mike Betti on the same subject recently.
What did you decide Mike, and how did your wings come out?
Thanks.
