More work rigging the airplane. To check for sweep you have to drop a line along the leading edge of both wings and hang 4 plumb bobs off the leading edge so you have sight down the line and detect any sweep. Well that's not easy with the gear on as it's in the way. Laser level to the rescue. I mounted it directl over the windshield on the ceiling of the garage and it works great. Makes a straight line for all 4 plumb bobs (2 ea wing). I also measured from the tail and it's perfect with some slight adjustement Incidence is also perfect now after several iterations of adjustments. Put the flaps on per the plans to make sure there is no major interferance - looks good. Just alittle skin trimming (very slight). Next step is to figure out my drilling window to maintain edge distance for drilling the rear spar attach bolt holes.
Note laser level (red) up on the ceiling.
The lazer being mounted up on the ceiling isn't blocked by the gear or the fwd fuselage
Both wings are with 1/32 of each other on sweep - Van allows up to 1/2"
