Sorry about that I was thinking Dihedral. Incidence is like you said built in the fuselage. Datum is pulled from thrust line or top longeron. I don't know how much room you have vertically in your Root spar openings, but your wood shims will get you dialed in. Is there Wash out built into the Wings?

You can drill one side of the roots on the drill press, but one side needs hand drilled for incidence. Thats where the water level comes into play. Only 2 of the 4-need drilled.

You have fun with those root spar fairings per plans. Once your roots are as close as possible then the 3 degrees will need to be accomplished when wing WAFS final holes are drilled. Water level works good for that alignment. Watch out for twist from tip to tip. hope your house has a door wide enough because root spars will be permanent.

Unless the ignition is in the off position

Teggles. Looks nice and good to see widows on the tent🙂The quicker you can get the Fus covered with fabric and sealed the better off it will be. Condensation could be a real bite in the backside sitting outside. I have been working on power plant and the new 42 hp inverted V twin that the Spirit SE-1 new at Oshkosh this year sure looks like a good way to go. I have a 1835 VW but weight is a deal breaker on that route. Hope everyone is well and flying in smooth air across the pond. DJ

These crazy old Taylor monoplanes. Teggs I thought I read 17 degrees on main undercarriage mount? I'm chiseling away on mine.

Thats great Teggles. Keep at it and it won't be long, and you will be doing taxi runs.

Merry Christmas to you my friend also and to all. build on and have fun with it.

Very interesting cable arrangement. Aileron cables arranged in torque tube look to be a problem solver. I would only study the over 90-degree return at pully of cable aft of rear spar ensuring no cable can touch under tension. Thumbs up Teggles

You don't have to yell at me BUD. Must be bored to site and listen to US news all day when I'm sure you have plenty of your own going on.

Teggles. I was a bit more curious about how the cable routing is going along with seat type and placement. Are you going steam gauges or do you have more updated goodies for the dash?

You're not here but if you were, you'd see that a major change has been happening in the State levels such as Governors, Attorneys, and many high level personal. Biden just let 1500 federal prisoners out of jail and at least 2 people here where I live out convicted of embezzlement. I guess Biden figures if Trump can get away with 34 Felony's a few lesser misdemeanor persons should walk. Go Figure.

Why not? I guess we can start sending all the persons coming in from South America to Australia. I personally am not disappointed with the US but I have lived through presidents since the JFK of the early 60's. Nixon was a interesting situation. 🤨

I personally voted for the other party as most all people I know. N.D. is a blue state as we say but I think it all boils down to money and supporters such as Musk and the fear of another January 6th episode from the past. My little community is basically all farmers and mainly only concerned about Ag details.

Listening to world news tonight Elon musk has asked for the government not to pass the spending bill and if this happens many military personal will not get paid along with Federal workers. Boing is the least of this country's problem at this time. Like I said I'll try and keep you guys on that side of the pond informed as things develop. If any questions, please ask.
