28% Extra wing angle of dangle
Hello
I recently purchased a 28% Extra Special (my first gasser). I was very excited, of course, but slightly concerned when I put it all together in the living room to see that the wings are not parallel to the stab when viewed from the front. The right wing tip is about 12 mm lower than the left when the stab is level.
However, when I went to our local club this weekend I saw another extra (fairly new) and an edge (that has been around for a while) and both had the same thing visible.
Is this normal, or have we all been unlucky enough to have a planes made on a Friday?
Can anyone advise?
Thanks in advance
David

RE: 28% Extra wing angle of dangle
I do not have a David Brooks in my data base, and I see that you are in New Zealand.
There is somebody in New Zealand selling my planes bootlegged, they bought them directly from the builder and brought them into New Zealand without my involvement or permission.
I suggest you complain to him. He may have purchased my rejects, I am pretty aggressive about charging back defective airplanes to the builder, perhaps they decidede they had some with twisted fuses and sold them to the unsuspecting NZ importer.
