Wade,
Based on my experience, do NOT cut all the way back to the
co-ordinates shown in the plans. I would recommend leaving a minimum of
1/2 inch extra, probably more, on your initial cut. Support your wing in
some fashion, and gradually mark and trim as you approach spar bolt
alignment. Use the fuselage side as a marker guide, mark, slide the wing
out, trim and do it again as you sneak up on the final position. If I
recall correctly, the final gap needs to be about 4mm for the rubber
root moulding to fit well. Taper ground 5/16" pins or hardware grade
bolt shanks are ideal to help align the spar bolt holes as you get
close. It took me about three or four hours to trim each wing skin.
Also, as part of this process, you need to establish the rear spar
final position vertically and laterally. Zenith wants a minimum of 12mm
edge distance (preferrably more) on the rear spar bolt. Use a smaller
bolt when drilling the first hole, so you still have room to tweak it.
Ideally, the centerline of the flap hinge pin will align with the center
of the flap actuator shaft, though "close" is OK, as long as both sides
are identically positioned relative to the fuselage.
On a separate note, I couldn't be more satisfied with my
W.W. Corvair. The components that William produces are first class in
both design and manufacture, and will allow you to produce a quality
powerplant that performs exceptionally in the 601 / XL. I'm still in
early Phase one testing, and have no hard performance numbers yet, but
this plane is all I hoped for, and more.
