XL Wings First Trial Fitting.
« on: September 17, 2025, 06:58:17 AM »
Hi Guys,
With help from my wife today, I offered the wings up to the fuselage top brackets for the first time. It didn’t go too badly. There’s slight misalignment in 3 out of 4 of the bolt holes, about the depth of a thread maximum I’d say. I didn’t ream them out yet because the brackets are only tack welded and might move again after finish welding. Wingtip to tailpost measurements differ by only 3mm which I’m happy about.
I’d be grateful if you experienced builders could look at the photos and say if you think reaming would be acceptable.
