Wings On, sorta

[Pat Stewart]

Yesterday we put the wings on. I found it a little difficult especially for an airplane designed to do this with two people in a few minutes. The fit through the slot in the side of the fuselage was a little tight and getting the wing in that last 1/16 was also difficult. Curious if those who already done this learned any tricks to this process.

Check that the top of the spar is not rubbing on the F1204H bulkhead caps. Mine was but a very gentle file and all is good. See area circled in red below.
