Default RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

Guys,

I wanted to share a slight modification on Gary's wing bolt mod. After watching me struggle with trying to tighten the bolts from inside the fuse to the rear of the wing with my fat hands, a guy at the club suggested cutting the heads off the nylon bolts and screwing them into the wings and then use a wing nut on the inside of the fuse to secure the wing to the fuse. I like this method better because I can more easily loosely attach one wing and then have both hands available to install the other wing and line up the joiners.

And I think next time I'd just put a 1/8" steel stud on the wing.

Nathan, I bought Great Planes pants GPMQ1770 (Tower LXJ917). I haven't done anything with them yet, but they look about right.

Weather looks good for flying here on Sat. Sunday is iffy. I can't wait to get the VF Edge out again.
