FILETIME=[662B7140:01C57107] My next task is to set the wing incidence. Can one do this with the wings still open? - in other words, without the upper surface and the uni reinforcing plies? Any tips/
FILETIME=[169004C0:01C5711B] Thanks - Will Hi Will, It sounds risky. I know builders that have done it without the upper skin but then you need to build up exactly same height in order to "simulate"
FILETIME=[0AFA2AF0:01C5711B] Thanks - Will You should set the wing incidence up with the tops on and the wing in its final configuration. You will be making a template of the top curvature of the win
