 |
|
Group:
Before attaching the wings, I'd like to fill up the tanks, more to test the fuel quantity indicators than anything else. Is supporting a wing with 3-4 sawhorses, maybe with plywood on top, sufficient for the 180 pounds or so of fuel that will be in there?
Thoughts? Suggestions? What have others done?
Thanks,
TDT

Are you wanting to test to see if the floats move, or actually to calibrate? Getting the dihedral would probably be the hardest thing. Are you limited on space and can't get the wing on the fuse, or just don't want to? The wing goes on very quickly and easily, so if you have the room and can put even one wing on at a time, I would pin it in place with a few bolts, even without the nuts, and test it on the fuse. You might need to support the tip so the fuse doesn't tip with just one wing on (considering the 30 gallons of fuel). The calibration is so easy in my experience, that I would just wait, but that's me.
