If you support the spar in a jig at the wing root main pin position, the force
required to anchor the spar at the other pin position end will be approximately
79kg + safety factor of 1.6; so two 6.0mm dyna bolts should be sufficient.

Thanks A51. It is certainly doable but I think I will stick to the keep it vertical
method. Simpler.
Although a challenge that can be solved, what you suggest still requires thought
on how to flip the wing around while painting.

| Subject: | Re: Rotax Piston Stop Tool |
The piston stop tool worked great; thanks Jim!
Checking the crankshaft phase was relatively easy with the timing wheel located
on the back of the crankshaft. Removal of the black plastic dynamo cover is required
first, and the timing wheel just pushes onto the 23mm bolt head.
Piston position that the piston stop affects is 65deg BTDC; which will likely be
the fastest sector of piston stroke. So any deviation in crankshaft phasing
will show up the most here.
My previous reference to the unique TDC timing mark is a bit dumb. Rotax supply
a pin that locks the crank at that position if ever required. So finding TDC
with the dial gauge was a total waste of time. I do stupid things sometimes; the
race tech is still too ingrained. Oh well
It was a good exercise to go through all the same. In the end the crankshaft returned
0,0,0,0. And after being informed yesterday that the engine was sent back
to the factory for a bulk strip following the prop strike in 2003 the whole
session is being written off to an educational experience.

Hi, I used a simple modified workhorse to hold one side of the wing through the
spar - paint one side and when full cured, flip it to paint the other side. See

Hi - this mainwheel setup came with the partially built kit that came from Georgia
USA. Yes its Berube type but I dont know too much about the specs.
So far its working well but it is a little springy so you have to watch our rate
of descent went landing otherwise it tends to bounce very easily.

Tony, I fly with the Berube one piece=C2-aluminum main wheel. Yes, you do
need to control those last few feet to keep from having to go around due t
o a bounce. I have a lot of the details on that gear and mounting assy. I y
ou would like any information, feel free to email me.=C2-
