Hello, Everyone,
And thanks for your very encouraging comments. I'll post a few comments on EZ Line shortly: not too much actually, but I worked out an installment method that more or less works for me. More anon!
Now, I don't know how this happened, but I
do know that it is definitely
not the right and proper way to go about this, but...well... there I had the Biff on the jig with the forward cabanes glued. And it looked so d**n
close to getting the upper wing into place (at least, the first phase looked close), so I...uhh...got the rear cabanes fitted into the upper wing centre section and then went the whole nine yards and glued the upper ends of the rear cabanes and then started muttering all sorts of prayers to the plastic Gods! There: wing fitted!! No measurements, no rigging, no alignment, no compass (!): nothing but a totally foreign "git 'er done" attitude!
So, as you can see from this uncharacteristic burst of enthusiasm, the wing is now in place, pretty much centered, but with a slight misalignment (upper photo). That said, I fully expect that the wings will align nicely when the interplane struts are fitted, as I can already easily nudge the upper into a worthwhile position. Incidentally, the rear cabanes are not glued at the fuselage end, so the slight leeway that this gives will also help. If I have to, I'll anchor the wings into alignment and apply the glue, but I don't expect any problems. Rigging? slow and easy, one line at a time, working from fore and aft center-line outwards.
So there you have the most recent update: completely tosses Des' methods and techniques right out the window!
This better work, or he and others will never tire of telling me, "I
told you so!" And I'll deserve it!
Thanks for visiting!
I wonder if I can do this with crossed fingers...!
