Hello All:
Regarding wings and any part of the aircraft that you would
like to build true. It is imperative that the building table is flat with no
twist or humps in it. My table is a welded truss frame that will not twist.
Any spacers that are used to hold clecoed wings or other parts should also be
parallel and true. How flat and true (within 1/32 over 12 feet, if you want
the plane to fly straight)?
Regards, John Read, Starting a CH701

I had a bracket clearance problem also, I filed them down until I got the
right Gap clearance and then drilled another hole for a third bolt thru both
brackets where the edge clearance was getting too close to the edge

Just reflecting.has anyone counted how many times they turned their wings
during the building process? Not me, but it has to be 2-300 times!!!

I agree it is important to have a flat workbench and if it is also
level it is even better.
On the other hand, I don't think it is necessary to have something as
big as a wing within 1/32 inch of perfect. This is only one of many
things that can impact a plane's natural ability to fly straight and
true. Some of the other things include: Rigging of both structure
and control surfaces; presence or absence of a passenger; exact fuel
situation; power setting; weight and balance impact of baggage and
cargo; and general weight and balance of the structure. In the end
it is elevator and aileron/rudder trim that will make the plane fly straight.
I think it is a great idea to build as true a structure as you can,
but I wouldn't lose sleep over how close to perfect it comes out.
