Default RE: The Wings Maker Ultimate 40

Traditionally, one of the more difficult aspects of assembling (or building) a muscle bipe like an Ultimate was to install the wings and align them properly. The Wings Maker Ultimate 40 eliminates most of this work by using labeled cabanes and wing incidence templates.

After first installing the center cabanes, using the labeled numbers and arrows for proper position, the top wing is held perfectly in place using the wing incidence templates. Not only are the top cabanes and wing incidence templates marked with arrows, so is the white center cabanes. If you hold them up to light, you can see the arrow construction in the wood marking the correct side to point up. These clever assembly techniques, combined with all the included hardware, make mounting the wings and cabanes a snap!

The final step of assembly was to install the linkages for the upper ailerons. All the supplied hardware and pin holes in the ailerons made this step much easier.
