Hello All-
I'm finally at the point of buying the power plant & prop. Wingless 7A fuselage in a single car garage, no wheels at all. Wings previously fitted.
Question: Is it OK to mount the mains and nose gear without the wings installed, then hang the engine? I'm concerned about damage to the main spar center section, without the wing spars in place.
I was thinking of making some precision spacers in place of the wing spars, then running the large wing bolts (hardware store) through the spacers to temporarily secure the main gear.
Thanks,
