It probably doesn't need it but I went on and added a piece of G10 over the two nose landing gear plates mounting blocks.
I received my new set of wings mid October, the wrong phenolic tubes were provided and BVM was very kind the send me the correct ones. The trouble now is now about setting the proper incidence for the wings. Since when you buy a complete Bobcat kit, the plywood rings on the forward sleeve are setup in the factory to set the proper wing incidence. When you purchase replacement wings, those rings need to be installed, however there no info as what the wing incidence is in relation to the stab, for example. I just sent an email to BVM, hopping that they will be able to help, but if anyone has some information they could share, I would greatly appreciate!
