Brief Description:  Installing strake table, port side

Spent an aggravating afternoon farting around trying to get the fuselage level. Everytime I think I have it right and I walk away by the time I get back it has changed. The little block things I put under the main undercarriage spars tip seems to have stopped working, and I can't figure out why.

Eventually I notice the nose is actually hovering an inch above the sawhorse! The whole thing is about to tip onto its arse!!! I didn't think I had a problem until I bolted the engine on, but not so apparantly. Maybe I left too much lead in the wings?

With a ballast weight in the nose I have the fuselage solidly on the sawhorse, and level fore and aft and side to side. With some trepidation I check the starboard wing incidence, AND IT IS OUT. WTF is happening???

Pull the starboard wing off, and whack an additional 816L washer on the lower attachment, and it is level. Had a bear of a time getting the wing back on. Can't figure out why.
