m=0A=0ADave, Nev has just completed 78 on my wings which I hope is the next

in it than the original socket. Was this socket replacement due to a struct
ural considerations or just the make the rigging easier? It seems that sock
et location sets the angle if incidence and I would think there should be v
irtually no play there. The pin has a shoulder on it and I was thinking tha
t the shoulder was what does the trick. It doesn't seem to, though.=0A> =0A

After getting all the angles and rigging set, its hard to tear that all apa
