Aligning Wing Panels On A Texan
I am about ready to attempt to join the wing panels on my Kyosho T-6 Texan.
I was curious to see if anyone had any good methods of getting the wings to stay properly aligned and "tight" to the center section while the epoxy sets?

Hi Dave,
I propped mine up vertically in my Black & Decker Workbench, wingtip down, after taping hell out of it. Added some scuba weights to the top. Did one side a night, naturally.
Where you Philly guys flyin these days?

Geezus Dave I think I used to drag race back there somewhere in my youth. 
It was a little 2 lane downhill that we entered via what is now the right turn north of the club entrance road. A donut shop might be there now and a jug-handle. When the cops chased us from Decatur Rd. behind the airport, thats where we went next. Ah the good old days.... 
Anyway, while the epoxy dries on the wing you'll have time to start analyzing the cowl stuff...and the canopy frame. :drowning:
