I think I'll call the hardware supply in Paso Robles, CA as soon as I can figure out the proper nomenclature and grip length. I'll price them and report back... My wings are on and torqued with the necessary "shaking" to settle things in. I'm happy to report they are both at the same incidence. Both are point four degrees up (on the jigs). I need to double check everything but so far that is a nice finding. The wing "lead/lag" is within one quarter inch; again, a good double check is in order. I went into my Cessna 172 parts book today and found the eccentric bushing part number. Cessna uses the bushing to adjust the rear spar attach on many of it's aircraft, notably the 100 series. The bushing is about five eights inch outside diameter and uses an AN7 bolt. Has anyone had a problem with incidence and wished for an adjustable wing? I believe the bushing will change incidence and lead/lag at the same time. I have to believe the angle of incidence is more critical than the wing lead/lag. For me, this is the time to make this mod if it is of any benifit. I called Dick and Jenny at Foothill Parts in Upland (Cable Airport) and got a price of $36.30 ea. list on p/n 0512123, in stock. Please let me know, those of you who are flying, how you feel about this idea. Thanks, Walter Dodson, IV-P wings on for the first time. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
