wing flipping
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 2:29 pm
I am half way through my second wing and wondering if it is really necessary
to flip the wing as many times as the manual says. I cut it down some the
first time, but now I'm wondering why for example they want you to not drill
the holes along the main and rear spars (I already drilled the rear spar
anyway, not seeing any reason not to) on the bottom skin before turning
the wing to start with the top skin. If you have the wing perfectly leveled,
why not drill the mail spar? You have to do it sometime right? I haven't
counted, but it seems that the manual would have you flip about 5 or 6
times. I made a turning jig and I can do it solo, but it's still a pain
without the LE skin on.
Thanks
Jesse
