Default RE: Let's gasify a Vanquish

BTW- seeing how the wing location pins are carbon tubing which will ride inside aluminum plates, I opted to change the aluminum out in favor of phenolic sheet.

Carbon is great stuff but abrasion resistance is not one of its strengths. Carbon behaves itself better riding on plastic rather than a metallic surface. For anyone working through wing set-up of the VQ, let me suggest that you either apply a nylon shrink tube over the carbon and enlarge the aluminum hole, or do as I did, make new plates from phenolic sheet and leave the carbon alone

You know, I don't understand why so many guys complained about the wing adjusters (the afforementioned plates). The set-up was really simple to actually do, once the alignment lines were marked on the fuse sides.
