Brief Description:  Wing attach woes (part 3 of 3)

Here's the final result: wings attached. Recall from a previous post that I built a steel tube framework to hold the plane level while I did all the aforementioned wing install procedures. Obviously, the wings need to be set at 1 degree dihedral before cutting and fitting the struts, and the steel structure (that slips onto telescoping tubes embedded in concrete) did a great job of completely immobilizing the fuselage during this process. I wanted to get the wing-attach procedure out of the way before starting the engine and firewall install, as the engine (and the need to have the plane on it's gear to hold that weight) would make leveling the plane far more tedious later on...at least that's what I told myself.
I intend to set up the 2: aileron torque tube before taking the wings off again and storing the plane in the garage again (where I will work on the FF and panel over the next few months).
