Posted: Fri Jun 08, 2007 5:21 pm Post subject: Spar guides?

As I see the underside of the CM resting vertically on the floor w/ the 

wings nicely mated and spar sockets in place, it occurs to me to 

consider whether or not a couple of FG straps part way around the spars 

might be useful to aid in the insertion of the wing spars during normal 

rigging. Since I understand that the spar ends (between the two main 

bolts/pip pin) I would think that such guide straps would want to be 

held off the edges of the spar a nominal distance (1/8"?) in order not 

to transmit in flight loads to portions of the CM not designed to take 

them. .



I'm wondering if this is something others have done (?), whether it's a 

good idea (?) or am I trying to address something which simply isn't a 

problem (?) and just adding unnecessary weight and build-time?



Obsessing again,



Fred

Fred,

 

 I'm going with your last paragraph. "...or am I trying to address something which simply isn't a problem (?) and just adding unnecessary weight and build-time?"

 P.S.  Just a reminder.  The end of August is drawing closer, everyday.  Be sure to mark your calendars for the Europa flyin at Rough River KY.  It's gonna be a blast!  Anyone with questions, contact me or Paul McAllister for more info...
