Default RE: 130 Flaps

While we are on wing alignment... I bought a laser leveler/pointer today to assist me (thanks to Gunny's techniques). I have my engines on a track (90 degree agle aluminum) that is very thick to prevent warping. I have the spacing correct between the engines, but what is the best method for centering it on the wing.... I thought about shooting a line down the center of the wing and intersecting in the center of the "track" bar. Sound good? Let me hear your ideas.

Ohhhh..... I previously put down the Dolphin Glaze because I could not get it to dry fast.... Well I think that part of it was the low temps at the time; now the Dolphin glaze works better... still takes a little longer to dry than Bondo, but overall it fills good. I did notice that you CANNOT put it on very thick and expect it to dry to sandable condition in 24 hrs.

Have a good one guys....
Thanks
