Well David, I thought about making a hotwire to do the job and in hind sight it might have been easier. I cut the spar slots in the left wing, now I have to cut the retract plate but I'll wait till next weekend. I'll be leaving for Kansas tomorrow to look at a project so I won't post again till late in the week. Aw, heck, I'll go take a photo real quick.
If anyone needs any thing from DFW to KS or visa versa...free trip (I'm driving because my wife wants to go : )
