Over the years I’ve re rigged the aircraft a number of times … usually when the wings were on and off between transportation runs between the barn where I built her and the airport. Later trips were easier as I had a trailer and the folding wings were obviously a huge help !
All turnbuckle wire locking removed and each wing with a trestle under to support the (almost) correct angle .. allows you to bring up the turnbuckle tension to achieve the desired angles
- Lower wings – 3 degrees
- Upper wings – 1 degree
It didn’t take too long before the numbers started aligning and the flying and landing wires started to ping quite nicely
Getting the aircraft straight and level and into ‘flying’ position first is key to ensuring correct settings
