Hi All,
I'm finally plugging my wings in today and will be drilling the rear spar, but had some questions first about where to take the wing incidence measurements. In the diagram on drawing 38, it mentions that the forward end of your level should be even with the forward surface of the main spar web, however it doesn't specify a position for the rear. Just to confuse the matter, on the RV-8 assembly DVD RV Builder Basics, it shows them measuring the forward end between the two skins, and the aft end at the rivet line.
Does anyone know where specifically this aft measurement should be taken for the RV-7?
Tom.
