I basically was working on the back to get them to lay down on the fuselage contour. This is a tedious and painstaking process on the eight! The problem is compounded by my lack of great experience working fiberglass and Van's build manual having little instructions on performing this process.
After trimming and fitting for some time I called a friend Rick in Colorado that built several E/AB aircraft including an -8 that won a bronze Lindy at Airventure. We had a lengthy conversation and he gave me some good pointers that I will probably execute during tomorrows work session.
