----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Craig, with such a wonderful opportunity for humor and levity, I find it excruciatingly difficult to hold my tongue and keep a straight face. But, as I have reformed, I will refrain from suggestions such as rigging a sling, or a correctly stacked pile of bricks under the wing. Also, having everyone stand on the right wing until the aircraft is underway would now be out of character for me. Thus, I will leave the corrective suggestions to those more knowledgeable the I. On a lighter subject, I did finally get rid of the stowaway wasps in my horizontal stabilizer. Went out Sunday morning for a flight. It was about 40 degrees. Looking at the nest, I could see that the wasps were extremely lethargic. Putting a glove on my right hand, I individually picked them off as they exited the hole in the cross member. About the time I had a pile of about 20 dead or dying on the ground, using a screw driver, I pried the nest to the outside of the stabilizer. with the angled ribs, it forced the nest out and to the rear, putting it directly behind the outer hole in the rear cross member. It was then a piece of cake to pull it out. Luckily, the only casualties were the wasps. Those little buzzers will think twice about messing with me again.
