Hi Group
Yesterday was working on fitting flap root extension to fuse. We rigged wings
and
when it was time to remove, the Starboard wing was pretty stuck. Two of us
couldn't get it lose. We tried both spar pins in a little less than half way,
only one or the other, no spar pins and trying to even pull Port wing out a
little.
Fuse was in cradle dolly not on trailer. We have 2 pump jacks where we tried
to support Port tip, even a little lift on both wings. Just plain stuck.
The wing root fairings aren't on yet so a prybar pushing on reinforced fuse spar
hole and wing root with two 1/8" aluminium load spreaders pulled it out. Most
liklely 4 people would have gotten it out. Question, anyone have any idea how
to pull out a stuck Starboard wing on a XS Mono with wing root fairings
installed?
After the thing got stuck, we pulled both wings in and out more than half
a dozen times fitting flaps with no problem. Ron P.
