I'm trying to resolve the center spar - web template
installation.
What I've got figured out so far:
The web template is an exact image of rear-rib #1 of
the wing. It's used to set the distance and relative
angles between the spar and rear channel, at the
attachment.
My concern is about the 75mm dimension at the rear
channel on page 6-B-13 (making the template). If my
spar is not set at perfect 81 degrees (75 don't jive
when compared to the wing root), should I try to lock
in that 75mm figure on the template and adjust the
spar-angle on the template(s) to make it fit (whether
80 or 82)??
Or is the 75mm just a measure of how accurate the
wing's angle of incidence will be, as built??
Or is the 75mm important at all? Should I just eat
some bran and quit being so anal about this.?? (ie,
too late to do anything)
The archives show lots of confusion in the past, so
I'm wondering how this has worked out for others
(where are you, Mike, Mark, Joe, Bill,...?)
Nick offered some help, but didn't explain the 75mm.
Comments appreciated, thanks in advance,
Rico

On mine there is a noticeable , although slight difference in the tension.
The most tension is at full forward and right of the stick, the least is
full aft and left. The bungee cord causes this. If the belcrank had been
centered, like a CUB, I think this would not have been a factor. I was
really worried about the difference, but now that I'm flying it, the control
inputs are so small as to make it a non issue during most flights. Don't
worry about it, and keep going. I lost a couple of days fiddling with it.

Rico: I spent a day cyphering on this spar template. I finally built it to the
plans. Although the plans do mention it I figured out the the top of the template
must be level ( and the top longeron 6b11-1 must be level) for any of the
angles to work out. When said and done the rear channel on the template does not
meet flush with the top of the rear channel attachment bracket on the plane
but after looking at pictures of others this seems to be the norm. Perhaps the
following pictures will help.

I have searched the installation manual as well as the operators handbook
and the maintenance 1 manual and can not find the engine break-in protocol. There
was always a time/RPM one hour break-in protocol on the Rotax 2 strokers
I have used in the past. Thursday I fired up the 912 for the first time, had
oil pressure right away, all the temps were in the green and there were no leaks
anywhere but I didn't run any high RPM's and shut it down after .2 hours to
check for anything loose , leaking, or burning. Today I did a short taxi just
to sit in the 701 and make it move for .1 hour. ( Killed some bugs too )
What are the recommendations?

Hi Roger;
Are the 8mm mounting bolt holes on a 100mm circle or a 4 inch circle. My 912S uses
a 4 inch circle.

Lowell, I remember someone on this site saying that all Rotax 912 series
and 914's are run at the factory, is there anyone knowledgeable of that fact
