Hi guys,
I’m sure I’m not the first. I can’t seem to get my wing pins in. They’re not tight, they just plain don’t fit. After some investigation and fiddling around, I thought it might be because my kit came with oversized rear stub spars, 1207B-25. I was unaware of the difference and installed them. No problem, I figured I just file to fit when I installed the wing. However after taking a little material off the circumference , I’m not convinced this is the issue. The wings seems to “bottom out” in the vicinity of the main spar. With the wing in as far as it will go, I can "wobble" the wing fore and aft, pivoting around the main spar. I certainly don’t what to take too much off the stub spar and risk replacing. Skins are not in contact with anything nor can I see any other interference.
Any ideas?
