To all you 801 builders, I have a quick question.

I have the right wing root skin fitted and drilled. The manual shows to wrap the nose of the skin around and underneath the bottom skin. Does that need to be done now, or should I wait until the wing is installed? Since it is so stiff, is there a trick to rolling it under?

Thanks,

Dave in Salem

Wrapping the root skin now is ok you will need a round piece of plastic pipe to get the curve right. I used a 4" diameter pipe if I remember correctly. The ends are trimmed when you attach the wings because you will be fitting the root skin to meet the fuselage once the wings are on.

The wing root was the hardest part for me to get right. I assume you have the top plexiglass already in? I left the root skin off till I mounted the wing for the final time. As for tucking it in on the underside of the wing skin,,,,,, Good Luck on making it nice and smooth, <G>

Hi Ben,

I don't plan on riveting the skin on until I mount the wing which is about a year from now. I hope. I guess I'll wait on the bottom piece to try and roll it when I turn the wing over. Seems like there has to be a better way. The skin is thick enough and the roll is tight enough that it sure isn't easy. But then you obviously know that.

I'm not aware if the one piece plans have changed for the 701/801 since 1994. When I built I devided my skins in two pieces. A small part that wraps around the leading edge from the bottom spar cap to the top spar cap, and a second part which is removable from the top spar cap to the trailing edge.
I found this to be easier to build and convenient for inspections. I also placed my fuel senders on the inboard side of the wing tanks so they are easily accessable.
