So I'm getting ready for the initial mating of my wings to my QB fuse. Here's a couple of helpful numbers.
1. wing tip is approximately 6.125" higher than fuselage bottom
2. wing inboard needs to be ~.375" higher than fuse bottom
3. minimum distance needed to mate wings is 24'. Prior to spars inserted into fuse, my wing tip to wing tip is ~23'.
4. RV-7 fuse length motor mount to tailwheel is ~18'.
reading build logs reminded me to locate the fairing attach holes.
What to do about this universal rivet installed at the QB factory...My floors are already riveted in place, so do I counter sink this and install a cherrymax or notch the rear spar to clear???
Milestone weekend coming up....wing mating AND wife's college graduation....gonna be a big party.![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
