Hello, I'm in the process of attaching the wings to the fuselage and need some
assistance squaring up the wings. I followed the manner described in the manual
using corresponding points on the fuselage measuring to common points on the
wing tips and also measurements from the wing tips to the vertical stabilizer
and seem to have some inconsistencies between the two of about a half inch.
Could someone please offer their opinions as to the best way to square the wings
to the fuselage/vert. stab.
Thanks,
Chuck Daus - Wings attach

Hi Chuck,
I had more than my fair share trying (and crying) to get the wings
attached properly. There are several points of concern here that need to
be addressed, but the most important is the hole clearance to the rear
spar, that 5/8" DO NOT OVERLOOKED! Please note the emphasis. Let me know
if you have a 6 or 6A and we will work from there.

Chris,
Thanks for the reply, I am building a 6A The one thing I know that is
throwing one more factor into thought is I have the empange already
installed. Right now I have the wings in line (dropping strings from the
wing leading edge) and each side measures the same distance to the vert.
stabilizer. However, when I measure to the points on the side of the
fuselage they are off 3/4" to 1"from side to side. I also want to state that
I am a machinist and engineer by trade and I realize that I can't make every
point I measure be equal on each side. So, I ask myself what does really
matter. I think no matter what the leading edge of the wings should be in
line. Then what comes next or am I not even close??? I thank you for any
information you can give to help me make the right points equal on each
side.
Chuck Daus

Hi Chuck:
I have a friend that is an ex-USair captain. He told me about a 737 that was
in for maintenance and upon doing routine work on the airplane, it was
discovered that one wing was mounted 1 foot....yes 1 foot ahead of the
other! In all the hundreds of hours the airplane was flown, no flight crew
ever reported any problems with how the airplane flew.
Don't get me wrong.....I am not saying that you can be sloppy with mounting
the wings, but from the above it is apparent that there is a certain
tolerance we can be within and still have a safe, stable airplane.
FWIW
Regards,
Jeff Orear

******************************************************************************
RV6-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the RV6-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the RV6-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
RV6-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the RV6-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
