Brief Description:  Wing Fitting

Well it is time to give my BABY her wings!!!! Ok I Set up the Fuselage in our garage as the is just enough room. Sliding the wing into the fuselage for the first time is quit exiting. I found they are vey tight on the wing pins and I could not get the correct angel of incidence. (2.5 Degrees) What I had to do was to remove the bushes in the seat back and re set them. This is easer than it might seem. Simply heating one of the bolts with a piece of 25mm copper pipe slid over the top first. After heating they are inserted into the bushes to warm up the Redux. When it has softened, simply tap the bolt head to push the bushes Aft.

After removal I re-bonded in the bushes so to achieve the correct angel of incidence.

Sorry No pictures of the removed bushes
