KR> Divorce Result of Wing Attachment Fight

[Joe Walburn]

What I really want to know out there, KR gurus, is how many of your happy 
marriages ended up in divorce when you had your wife assist you with 
sticking the wings on these cursed airplanes?  If someone has and EASY way 
to do it, you can save me a boatload of cash at the lawyer's office.

KR> Oshkosh- 747 down grade

[phillip matheson]

The Aussie's were flying into Oshkosh on 26th in a 747, well we have been 
down graded to a 737 due to lack of numbers, but we will still be landing at 
Whitman Field around 1200-1300 26th July. ( At least they did not cancel the 
entire trip)

Due to the change, we will be spending a night in LA and departing on a US 
chartered 737 for Oshkosh. I think we have a 180 aeroplane made passengers.

Hope to meet up with as many of you as possible in my 3 week stay.

I wish to thank Glenda McElwee for all her help in arranging my camping and 
travel around your great country. Glenda has been fantastic. I still hope to 
do a bit of flying around some of the states, but will know more as we get 
closer.

Hope to see you then.

Thanks Glenda

Hi Joe, I wes told that using 2 old office chairs with the backs removed works 
well. They are padded and height adjustable.

Jim Hill built two little mini sawhorses to hold up the wing while he 
installed it.  They had a little foam padding around the top cross member, 
and you could even cut it into an airfoil shape if you were a stickler.  One 
of them needs to be exactly the right height to match the stub wing, the 
other a few inches taller, corresponding to somewhere near the tip or 
inboard of there.  To get started you just balance a wing on the short one, 
which will allow you lots of wiggle room to get the bottom bolts in, then 
put the taller one in place and slide it in until the upper holes line up. 
I've only put my wings on twice, but I've used this method twice and found 
it to be pretty easy.  I'm sure there are other ways though.  I also use a 
#3 Phillips screwdriver to help line things up first, then wiggle it around 
until I get a long carriage bolt through the hole, then replace that with 
the "real" AN bolts.

It's not a picnic, but not worthy of a divorce either...

Find a friend that you really don't care much about.  Actually, what you
have read already, is basically the way I have done it, and I have done it a
lot of times.  The friend can just jiggle the end of the wing a little, and
that helps get it in place a little easier.

Now, if you want a divorce, hand her the sand paper.

Some women are probably better at jiggling than others, but I must say Dan 
is absolutely right, as my wife's helped me do exactly that several times. 
That brings up my broken exhaust system (I'm not even sure I've told that 
story yet)...but she told me yesterday that if I didn't go to the airport 
and do something about that, I was "cut off".  She said it with a smile, but 
I still dutifully sneaked away from my 13 hour Saturday at work (running VPN 
and  Remote Desktop from home) and removed the exhaust to bring home to 
weld. She asked me tonight if the airplane was fixed yet, and I said "no, 
but I went to the airport, removed it, and hope to weld it up tomorrow 
night".  She looked a little skeptical, and I said "the deal was I had to go 
to the airport and do something about it, and I did".  She just smiled.

I have a male/female tubing that lines up the wing as you start the
connection.  A friend used it on his homebuilt and tell me it worked great.
I have two pictures to show if it's OK to post?

Netters,
 
Sometimes you need to put the wings on and there isn't anyone around to help.  
I found that it can be done by yourself if you have a shop stool that is spring 
loaded so when you press the lever it will adjust the height.
 
I took a couple of AM bolts and turned them into bullet shapes. 
 
Lay the wing on the ground (on a foam pad) Then lift up the wing and insert the 
two bullet shaped bolts into the lower wing attach fittings.
 
Lift the wing tip up and place the shop stool under it.  Bush the lever that 
allows the stool to get taller.  Go slow and when the upper wing fittings line 
up  Place the other bullet shaped bolts in to align the fittings.  Then you can 
put in the regular bolts in while the bullet bolts keep it in alignment.
 
To remove the wing, just support the wing tip on the stool, loosen the lower 
bolts and remove the upper bolts.  Lower the wing tip onto a foam pad and 
remove lower bolts and lower that end onto a foam pad.  
 
The hard part is picking up the wing and placing it on your wing rack.
 
And by the way, be sure to disconnect the aileron linkage.
