SIG 4* wings
#1
Thread Starter

Inoticed last night while flying that the wings seem to flap when I was landing. When I got it down, the bolts were a little loose, so the wings flapped. There seems to be a bit of slop even when bolted snug, just wondering if there is something Ican do short of glueing hte wings together. Iwould rather not as I would have a hard time transporting them since they are longer than the bed of my truck when assembled. Stupid short 6.5" beds. Is there a strap I can use to screw them tight to each other after I join them before bolting them to the fuse?
Reason the bolts were loose was due to me adding foam to the fuse to alleviate the rubbing on the wing from the fuse, I just need to make sure I tighten with a screwdriver from now on.

Make sure you are also using the plywood plate that goes between the 1/4 nylon bolts and fuse. Always tighten with a screwdriver until it starts puckering the covering on that plate a tad.

I'll do that. I am using the plate, but not using a driver. Going to give the wings a once over before my next flight, and will make sure the bolts are tight this time. Hoping I didnt damage the wings by flying with them loose. I tortured that plane the other day dog fighting a P-39.
