From: "Peck, Gaillard R CTR USAF ACC USAFWS/CBD TRAINING, INC." Good rundown Booger. My wings should ship next week. Finished the tail last night. Not real proud of the look. Profound new respect for Rosie the Riveter. But, stuff lines up and that's the part bondo can't fix. LOL Did you make the Ranch Roundup? I hung with Tom Morgenfeld and Jimmy Doolittle but missed you. Sorry bout that.

I used tapered hardware bolts to set the initial alignment, then regular hardware bolts and nuts to attach. One critical step - have someone lift the wingtip to adjust the dihedral to take pressure off the bolts - both during installation and removal. I attached the wings, set the angles, drilled the holes, drilled the fairings, fiddled with the ailerons, fiddled with the fuel lines and wing wiring - then removed and stored the wings. Will reattach with the real bolts after canopy, skirts, baffles, wiring, top skin, gear fairings and various unknown unknowns are completed.

Too wide and it would show, but too thin and the paint will pop with expansion. Hope to hear from you, Best regards, Bill? -----Original Message----- From: Peck, Gaillard R CTR USAF ACC USAFWS/CBD TRAINING, INC.
