Rigging wings

Postby sjakulski » Wed Jan 26, 2022 8:54 pm

On the trike Waiex-B I must rig the wings before installing the main landing gear (unfortunately), per instructions.
For those that already did this, just wondering if the fuselage will tip once one wing is inserted? That is, will I need to support the end of the first wing initially? Steve

From my pictures, I had a saw horse under the wings.
