New training program is rough, we'll see if I decide to stick it out long term. Miss working on the plane - would like to get back to it.

Last wing ready to rivet then on to the dreaded wing rigging. After I move the fuselage 90deg and put a hole in the wall to be able to put wings on.

Nice Billy! I'll input here to be as precise as you can when you set your angle of incidence and drill the rear spar holes. I'm not sure how it happened, but after remeasuring my rear spars from the bottom of the fuselage I found a difference of 1/16" between the 2, which is actually requiring a fairly substantial correction in my flap push-rods to overcome the roll tendency in my first few flights. That, and/or I have some wing twist.

Ryan

It could also be you are flying solo....my Sonex and others have a noticeable left wing heavy feel with just the left seat occupied

Thanx for the input still trying to decipher the sequence of rear spar installation.
