Default Fixing Wing Mount Blocks

Or..... The Adventures of an extra Chopstick


OK TF Contender build going along smoothly until I drilled the maple wing mount blocks and they did not match up to the wing holes...Argggg. After fiddling and scratching my head, I headed out for Sushi with my wife. I pondered the error for a few hours over a drink or four and some great Sushi, I came home and stared at the 1/4 inch holes and wondered how to fix it. This morning I was cleaning the counter when I happened along the extra pair of chopsticks and noticed that they were tapered and they might just slide into the holes. Sure enough, the did, So I whipped up some 30 minute epoxy, trimmed the chopsticks to size, lathered them with epoxy and put the into the holes to cure. I made sure that the hole was completely filled with epoxy and there you go. new wing bolt blocks. I'll update you on the hole drilling later today...
