Brief Description:  First bash at trial fitting Spar

Come up with some props to go under the Main Landing Gear strut ends, with a wide base so they won't fall over and a little flange between the strut and the brake disc. Trim one carefully until the Longerons are level.

Retract the Nose Wheel a bit and stick a sawhorse with a wide bit of wood on top that levels the Longerons fore and aft.

Inserted the Main Spar and note the rear face is level with the rear face of the lower firewall, it should be level with the front of it, but everything is reasonably square, measured with a spirit level set on blocks on the upper spar cap, a little spirit level on the level blocks and measuring Spar tips to a nail glued to the F28 centerline. A check I do after each change. The plans say measure to the nose, but I can't see any way to do that accurately or repeatedly.

Marked some trim lines, removed Spar, trimmed with die grinder and multitool, refit Spar, check measurements, repeat.
