Brief Description:  Wing install #2

Although I've been working the last couple of days, I haven't logged anything cause it has been on the garage and stuff trying to make it where I can work around those wings.

-Got the airplane leveled longitudinally and laterally. Since it's on the gear, I just adjusted tire pressures to get lateral level.
-I'm really taking my time since the rear spar is SO critical. I studied all the information I could find, including the plans and Vans generic instructions.
-I created a 2 51/64 spacer out of aluminum to set the wing incidence per th plans.
-Marked 4 locations on each wing where the level and spacer will be precisely placed for measuring twist and incidence (hopefully there's no twist as that isn't something you can adjust at this point).


I still need to check for sweep next session and then incidence in preparation for drilling the rear spars...

Level laterally. .1 is within the accuracy of the level.

Custom spacer. My angle got within 19/64ths so I added shims. Its exactly 2 51/64

Here it is in action. Not the two axis marks on the wing skin denoting location to place the spacer.
