    Default Bending over trix Nuts



    I bent the trix nuts over a bit to help get the screws in. I did not go as much as I seen in the pictures. Kinda bothers me bending all that hard work.

    What did you guys do?

    Put them in just three days ago. Seated them flush and level. Had no problems putting the windshield in.

    You are blasting through that build and about to pass me up!

    Lol. I started fitted the skylight last night and should get it and the turtle deck done Friday. It will need paint though. Need to re finalize my wings as the kit was missing the jam nuts for the forks. Got help coming Saturday to redo that. Hopefully that will go quick and I can get the ailerons and flaps on. I can't wait to be done so I know no more parts are missing!

    Just finished fitting skylight and turtle deck. Lots of on and off to get holes properly drilled and fit exact. Like you, turtle deck will need paint.

    wing adjustment went well. Pre sets on the forward struts were spot on. Aft struts took two turns out from preset to yield a washout within tenth degree left to right. Less than an hours time. Doubt you will have any issues.

    Suspect you may beat me to the first flight.
