Kevin, I went through the same things on setting up my wings. I ended up having to take some off the socket and bid on the fuselage to get enough clearance. As for the proper sweep mine was off aprox
John, I too found the wing spar to cockpit module set-up quite tight( little tolerance). I ended up tapping the 1/2 inch bolts in with a hammer. By lifting or depressing the wing tips slightly I was
Cliff, I'm glad to hear others have had to use vicegrips to remove the pins. I'll check into the spar busses/epoxy on mine and maybe try the 1/2" reamer next time I have the wings on the fuselage.

Hi Kevin, I think I'm to blame for the panic. Sorry. Don't start ripping anything out. I think there must be a misunderstanding somewhere. Europa supplies us with that black tubing(VW circ 1965) whic
Hi Bob, A couple of follow up questions: You said 3/8 ID min. for the 914 . Am I correct then that I would need to use 1/2" Versatube aft of the firewall? Also I have run 1/4" Versatube for the fuel
Cliff, My point exactly. I was just confused by what Bob said (5/16"ID min and recommended 3/8"ID) This would seem much larger than the supplied tubing. Could it be that these are OD dimensions? Bob?
Hi Rob, I went with 1/2" rubber hose from the gascolator. Then split with a 'Y' fitting purchased from McMasters. Then downstream from the pumps used AN fittings to join them back into a single to th
