Wing adjusters

I have a method of doing this that works pretty darned good.

First, if you made that template and cut those holes in the fuse sides, you're in great shape. If not, do it now.

Sand your wing tube socket flush with the fuse sides.

Put some pieces of phenolics around 2 of the adjuster pins.

Elongate the rear holes as shown.

Install the wing, and insert the adjuster pins with the phenolic in the front holes (still circular at this point). This should set the wing exactly where you want it incidence-wise.

make sure your rear adjuster pins are centered in the adjusters. Install them through the holes and tack glue them with thin CA.

I use a 90 degree head on a dremel, with a drill bit installed. Now just punch the holes where the screws go through.

Remove the area of balsa around the hole with a piece of sharpened brass tubing. This provides relief for the screw head.

Now remove the wings, install the screws and nuts with loctite.

Put the wing back on, and this time repeat the process for the front adjusters using your installed rears to hold the wing in place.

Piece of cake, done.
