- Used my digital level to level the fuselage in all axes. The stand for the fuselage has adjustable legs. Getting everything right took about an hour.
- Set up plumb bobs and checked wing sweep. Initial results were a bit of forward sweep on each wing.
- The left wing had some room for adjustment and could simply be re-positioned.
- The right wing was already as far as it would go so I removed the pins and with Britt's help slid the wing out a few inches. Then I trimmed about 1/16" off of the aft spar.
- I re-leveled the fuselage and wings, adjusted the plumb bobs and everything came out dead on.
All plumb bobs aligned = no wing sweep!
Getting ready to trim the right aft wing spar:
Right wing had about 1/4" forward sweep:
String and plumb bobs to line everything up:
I used my laser plumb bob to verify alignment with the fuselage:
I'm happy that my QB fuselage has zero twist fore and aft:
Everything leveled:
