Congrats on getting your wings set!!! I take it your plane is now in a
hangar.
I have not had time to put anything on the forum since you wrote to me.
I have barely worked on the plane since Memorial day due to other
activities. I have been riding my bike more in preparation for the long
ride in Sept. Think I told you about it...200 miles to Gettysburg in 2
days.
I bought a new bike, what a difference. It has been a good time for the
bike
shop. Amy bought a bike and today we bought a new bike for Laura
I hope to get to the pictures soon and get back to work, but with the kids
off for the summer that will be difficult.
Later,
John

> I finally got my wing sockets glued on. It fought me right to the end. My
son and I had the wings on and off and set about 6 times during the week.
On, off, perfect. I pull the wings put redux on the sockets. push the wings
in, measure the angles at the door sill, .5 deg out, level across the back
of the seat .8 out. So now I have to re-shim the cradle. I set the incidence
2.5 perfect. Then in the morning I found the center of the earth had moved
.2 deg. Every thing is even but off by .2 deg So I have 2.7 deg angle of
incidence. Had the spars flush with the seat back, pulled the wings,
reinstalled. I then had a 1/16 gap at the spar bushing to seat back bushing
on the port wing. WTH..... I think I'm par on this one. happily it's done,
not happily done. Water tube level and 30 foot of tubing, wing tip center
lines within 1/16''. Tip spar line to tail measurement within 2 mm, front
jogs to tip spar line dead even. plumb bob from tip string to spar line dead
on. Spar pins in a
> nd out by hand. @ 70% from root out on wing within .1 deg angle of
attack, 60% and 80% dead on. So some good came of it.

the outgoing posts from forum to Matronics Europa-list. If all works
correctly a link should appear below automatically. When you click it, it
should bring you to this post on the EuropaForum. If you added attachments
or photos you should be brought right to them.

not you added photos. But we'll see if this works first.......
