If the spar can not support the static weight of the wing in any orientation
it would certainly not be strong enough to support the dynamic loading in
flight - I trust that Europa designed a wing that is more than strong enough
to take all loads that any of us will apply to the spars (on the ground or
in flight).
Best regards,

Clamping them together sounds like a neat idea - but a question from the
'newbie': Can the spars support the weight of the wing with the
leading-edge down/up without any damage/problems? If it's acceptable to
do this with the short wings, I assume doing so with the long wings
would be out of the question?
Cheers & thanks,

Hi! Paul.
Can't remember what my RAF painter did but HE had room to pin and clamp
the
two spa's together, set them on THREE tressles in diving mode!(You need
THREE to handle the overturning moment of the dihedral. If they are
nicely
clear of the floor he can do the leading edge OK then the trailing edge
from
above stood on a beer crate or steps. That way you don't need to turn
them
OR touch the tips.

Bob Harrison G-PTAG
