Not sure the wings would stay put after withdrawing the special tool. My
flap pins go in first try usually ( since I reinserted the bushes to stop the
ball rotating as you describe) Yes, I have coned the ends of the spar pins a
bit more but they're still stiff to insert.
Have just put a platform extension on my wingtip dolly so it supports the tip
at rigged height rather than at ground level, and am hoping this might solve
the problem next time out.
I am also modifying the trailer spar sockets to rotate through 90 deg., as
single-handed manoevring of the free wing when vertical in any sort of a
wind is rather too exciting !
