I am getting ready to plug the wings in for the first time.
I plan to drill set the incidence angle and drill the rear spar, locate fuel and electrical line entry points, rig ailerons and flaps, set HS incidence
Should I also rig the VS incidence at this time, or wait till later. I had an RV-4 builder tell me to do this later, after engine installation, but I can't see a reason for this. I think it would be better to set it when I am in measurement mode, then unplug the wings and complete as much as possible in my air conditioned garage, including the empennage fairing, then install the engine, then install the wings one final time at the airport.
In setting the VS, he also states that it should be offset to one side to avoid a trim tab. Should I offset it to one side or set it straight. The engine mount is offset, correct?
If I offset it, how much?
What other items should I look at during this first wing fit exercise?
