Attached Wings for Alignment

Big day for the RV build.  With the help of a few fellow airport rats, we very carefully attached each wing by inserting the wing spars into the fuselage attach channel.  The fuselage was leveled along its longitudinal and lateral axis.    Wing sweep, dihedral, and incidence was meticulously measured and re-measured to ensure that the alignment was exact.


Once all measurements were verified we marked 5/8" distances from each edge of the rear wing attach point.  This determined the minimum distances from the hole center to each edge.  After the hole location was verified we step drilled #40, #30, and #19 holes for the AN3 attach bolt.

Task complete!
