Re: long wing bolts: Mark Mankhe reports the factory uses one bolt length
for two aircraft and suggests
using the six or eight washers.  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.
