gaRCField,


ORIGINAL: gaRCfield

I'm only having one problem; the right side (when plane is upside down) nylon wing bolt won't line up with the nut. The left one goes in fine, but the right just won't do it whether you try it first or second. Has anyone found an easy solution to this? I'm hesitant to enlarge the hole, though maybe it's the only option. I've been plagued with improperly drilled bolt holes in wings; Two Phoenix planes required me to plug and re-drill the holes, and this one the belly pan holes were not big enough and drilled too far inside. Actually the whole wing fits a bit funny and snug, but it seemed to at least go together as I was assembling the unit.

Should have stab and maybe gear and tank done tomorrow.
I have had this issue to with other planes but not the 4 venus's yet. Find out which hole is correct. that is mount the wing w/ plane upsidown on one bolt only and measure from the wing tips to the center of the back by where rudder goes. find which hole aligns the wing closest to perpendicular. that is the hole you want to use. then file or enlarge another way the other hole so that screw will fit. you should be fine then. let us know.
