I'd already started my 601xl wings when the 650 design was released.  I was told at that time (by the factory) that I could use the 601 wings "as is".  Now I'm hearing about attachment differences between the two.  Can anyone explain whats really going on and what I might need to rework on the wings?



Thanks for any enlightenment!

No reworking of the wings is required.  The change in angle of incidence affects how you set the center spar in the fuselage as well as the vertical location of the rear attach plate.  Because it is closer to the lower longeron, it cannot be as wide as on the 601XL, therefore it is made of thicker material.

I believe the 650 wings are set at a slightly different angle of  

incidence to the fuselage: the trailing edge is lower. To make the 601  

wings fit, all you should need to do is to adjust the lower flanges of  

the center spar section to the new angle and use the new, thicker rear  

attach plate.

I think most of my confusion resulted from confusing the rear attach plate with the root doubler (6w7-2).  The root doubler is also 0.063 on the 601 wing.



I'm much less confused now.  Thanks for the insights!
