Default First look. DPM Ultimate 40.

jwatwood,
You are doing great! I bet you can't wait to fly that Ultimate. I know I am getting impatient. My things to do list is getting shorter.

I am a dumb-a** though. When I put the wings together the first time I took out my right-angle and started checking things. For some reason the interplane struts were off. I spent two days figuring out why the wings were not square. Finaly, yesterday I took the bottom wing off re-measured everything, and of course everything lined up. Then the lightbulb finaly came on. I had overtorked one of the wing mounting bolts and the bottom wing was not square with the fuse. DOH!

Now all I have left to do is install the second aileron pushrod. Then install the fueltank and engine. That should only take me one more weekend.
