During the build process and the move to the airport, I installed and removed the wings (completely by myself) several times. I built some cheap wing stands out of 2X4s to support the wings at the proper height next to the fuselage. Drain all the fuel first. I recommend removing the struts from the wings. It only takes about ten minutes per side. This will make handling the wing much easier and less prone to damage. Mark the struts for location for ease of assembly. If the mounting holes were drilled properly there should be little concern for re-rigging. I would pull measurements from the trailing edge at the outboard ends to the rudder stops before removing the wings just in case there is some slop in the mounts. I haven't painted mine, but I don't believe a properly applied paint job will have a noticeable effect on the flight characteristics. -------- R Craig North Central Arkansas 701 SP Nearly Done Do Not Archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=263468#263468 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith701801-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith701801-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith701801-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith701801-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
