If anyone has a set of dummy spars I could borrow or buy I would be very grateful as this will allow me to put my fuselage in many more positions within my workshop then rigging the wings. Thank Frank

I do have a dummy spar which I have no use for, so I can send it to

you if needed.



On the other hand, I wouldn't recommend using the dummy spars for

aligning the spars to the cockpit module. It only takes a fraction of

a mm misalignment of the bushings to make the pin insertion and

retraction very stiff.

Frank, I would advise making your own, lining them up 

precicely on your wing spars and only doing it when you 

are ready to use them. If they are made of wood or  most 

anything non metallic there is a danger of change in 

humidity altering their dimensions oherwise. Regards,

I must take exception to the part about "...make the pin insertion and

retraction very stiff."  In my case the word "impossible" is substituted for

"stiff."  The "dummy" in dummy spar is the builder who uses it.
