Boy you guys are tough! I'm doing the best I can...

Time to get the wing mounted to the fuselage. This means some carefull measuring, after all the time and effort one puts into buildingtheir plane you have to make every effort to ensure that the wing is aligned properly or you won't be happy with how it flies. This means making sure the wing is centered on the fuse andtheangle ofincidence checked and or adjusted. So first on the agenda is to install the wing anchor blocks (HF-4). These blocks are not square so you can see how I duplicated the angle from the plans. I measured from the plans the exact locations of these blocks, you can see the pencil marks.

On a side note, I'm sure you all have steel rulers similar to what's in the photo. Have you ever placed your ruler on the side of something and reached for your pencil only to have the ruler slide off of where you placed it? It's happened to me several times but not anymore! What I did was to take some of the sandpaper that has sticky back and placed it on the side of the ruler that I don't use. The friction that the sandpaper gives you stops the ruler from sliding around. It also can be used as a sanding block!
