Hi All, BigGrin

Have just received my part 5 replacements Cool

The packing box was millimeter perfect (almost)

The main wing spar was not broken, but has a slight curve
over it`s length, Crying due to the fact that the part was
bent very slightly too fit.

Can this curve be forced out when building the wing, if clamped
to hold the main spar straight? Confused

Please advise if you have a possible answer Blink

Regards

Hi Del,
Yes you can build the curve out of the main spar what you will find is that when you build the whole wing with all the spars and ribs you would be very unlucky if there was a slight difference as the wings are so strong when put together,this is the reason why I build my wings in one go so they set straight.
