After completing as much work as feasably possible in the garage we moved the aircraft to the hanger where we installed the wings for the first time, 30 days later we were flying. No problem do the wings with the aircraft on the gear

Default Landing Gear?

All,

Thanks for the thoughts. After a few more inputs from other nearby builders I decided I'll put the plane on its gear prior to fitting the wings. This is simply to ensure that the spar sees the major weight components and any other twists, turns, etc that may be there.

Rick
