Tony,

Just saw these pictures and one thing that concerns me is your belly pan. It looks to me like the wing isn't mounted at the correct incidence. You might want to post those pics in Jim's original build thread on the 'other' forum and ask Jim for his thoughts.

<div>Hi Steve thanks for the input. Based on the plans and the way the kit has gone together it looks like it is correct, no other way without changing the designed way the wing seats in the fuse. I did change a few things, mostly cosmetic like the belly pan and the filet at the rear that makes it look like it is sitting higher at the back but the wing sits in perfectly in the saddle and is flush at the back. I just added the filet to smoothen out the transition, and may add more at the top side of the wing too. I can&rsquo;t see how it would go on any other way without doing some major changing of the designed parts. Jim&rsquo;s kit is well put together and it all fits together good so unless I missed something really big then my jet will fly pretty badly, but I think not. I will ask Jim and see what he says.</div><div></div><div>TB</div>
