Hi All,

  

 after a week of good weather during which I have  kept the Xtra pegged down on my field the forecast has turned to heavy rain and  thunder storms.

  

 Consequently i have had to fold up the Xtra and  stow her away in the barn because I have not sold my Challenger yet and my  hangar is occupied..

  

 Does anyone have an bright ideas for inserting the  pins in the tubes which support the wings when folded.  The first one is  reasonably easy  but with both wings folded it is alsmost impossible to  reach the second  fitting.

  

 Obviously I can fix a rod of some sort to the pin  so that I can reach past the rudder but has anyone any other ideas?

  

 Cheers

  

 Pat

  On my mk111 one of the wing pins is a small  diameter bolt  (to fit easily)  welded  to form a T shape on  the end of a length  of light tube this can then be put into place from the  rear after the wing has been slipped onto its mounting I then tie the free end  up to the frame I have that keeps the tail feathers up together to take any  strain away from the wing mount in the boom

Speaking of wing pins...  I was having a heck of a time lining up the wing supports into the fuselage tube every time I folded the wings...  I went to the hardware store and bought a couple of the plastic screws used to hold the toilet seats to the toilet (quit laughing), they fit the ID of the wing supports perfectly, I then pliabonded (contact cement) the screws into the supports...  Now the curved head of the plastic screw slides into the fuselage tube with ease...

   Of course, and drive a car too.  The airlines don't    advertise it, but there are some airline pilots with just one  eye.

And Wiley Post, famous pilot, round-the-world flyer, had only one  

eye. John Hauck, two eyes, flew right up to the very spot where Post  

and his famed passenger, humorist  Will Rogers, fatally crashed at Pt  

Barrow Alaska, 1935. That makes this Kolb-attuned.
