Hi all,
I have done a search (as usual) but haven't found an answer yet !
My progress is this :- wings/flaps/ailerons all mounted with fuselage - flaps aligned with ailerons (which are aligned with tooling holes as per plans) and next stage is to connect all together and set up sticks in perpendicular position.
A couple of Q's please
1. Is this stage necessary (at this time in the building sequence) as I will be removing both wings again - the only thing I can think of is for reference for fabricating and installing the elevator pushrods.
My garage isn't big enough to fit both wings and tail feathers concurrently.
If so any tips please for correct order to connect pushrods/fittings.
2. Is it sufficient just to use the aileron setting position tool/guide on one side only or does it need to be used on each side. (My thinking is that it needs to be used on both to set the correct aileron to bellcrank length)
Sorry for what may be obvious querys but I am spending too long at the computer looking for answers.
Thanks.
