One of the anti-rotation pins on the wing of my 36% Katana is pushed in to the wing root. I think I can get it back out, but what is the best way to glue it back in?

Thanks

Did you get the balance figured out?

How tight should the anti-rotation pins be? What I mean is, when I push the wing on to the fuselage, there is quite a bit of force required to get the wing against the fuse. I am certain this is what pushed the pin in.

I am going to mess with the balance tonight -- I'll let you know how it comes out.

Thanks

My plane is now slightly nose heavy with the engine moved back so that the back of the spinner backplate is 13 7/8" from the front of F-1. What do you think? Is the engine back too far?

The way I am balancing it is to measure back 6 1/8" from the leading edge at the wing tip.

Thanks again!
