The sockets for the adjuster pins is now complete in the wing panels and its time to get the fuse ready for adjuster install and incidence setting on the main wing.

I installed the wing tube and both wings on the fuse. I then tried to slide the adjusters through the holes in the fuse into the sockets. On the left rear and the right front adjusters, the holes in the fuse were not completely open to allow insertion of the adjuster pins.

This is an easy fix. Just use a small file or dremel tool to open the slot in the proper direction. At this point don’t worry about making the holes longer top to bottom just the fore and aft wide of the slot to allow the adjuster to insert.

As you can see the front one is just a tight fit and only needs a very small amount of sanding. The rear hole is a little more obstructed. Its about 1/16”. So its not much but it needs a little work to make things fit up correctly. Overall it tool me longer to find my dremel than it did to perform the work.

I widened the slot and now all 4 adjusters will slide into the phenolic sockets in the wings. Mind you I have not looked at all at the incidence or the vertical size of the holes. We will get to that in a few more steps right now keep the dremel handy as we may need it to get the incidence in the right spot. Not sure yet, as I have not gotten there.

For now trial fit the wings and all 4 adjusters like in the photo below
