Brief Description:  Rebuild Wing frame and hang left wing

Had to buy new 4x4 posts and rebuild the wing frame. Original posts had warped / twisted and could not be used with brackets to hold up wing. One post had a 15- 20 degree twist.
Turns out that the 133" measurement shown on plans is a bit too wide - wing wont hang with brackets close enough to clamp rear (lower) wing spar. Took a lot of doing but I did get a straight fit.
Used two plumb bobs to verify that there was no twist to the wing.
Cut a length of 1.5x1.5 to brace under the middle of the wing. Cut long and sanded down ends until string was straight across top of all holes.
Consumed and entire week.
