Thx I’ll need lots of help
so I need to have away to check the wash out if there is no way to adjust for it with lift struts . There are no tips or tanks at this point just spars and ribs.if I lay the wing on a long flat table the out board end of rear spar should be up how much ?
What is wing heavy trendinces in flight ? one with fills heavy ?
I thought I saw 3 different tip types the point the longer finch point and one that looked like a mk Vl stol or hh wing tip,
im wondering about no tip but an air dam just flat attached to the last rib but 1 in larger than the air foil shape
your gear looks great I may need more info on it , how’s it compair weight
thx rjg

Hi guys
i have a few magnum question ,the kit I’m considering is unfinished .wings are built not covered and have not bin fit to the fuselage yet
wash out- how is wash out built and checked after wards, is it adjustable after its built with the lift struts
false ribs - wings were built for wing tip tanks , no tanks are installed so just install ribs right ,
any thoughts on bottom false ribs ?
wing tips- or no wing tips
grove gear-before covering what needs added to acomidate grove gear

Would the horn itself (being in front of the hinge pivot point) catch air and lighten the elevator/stick and rudder/ peddle forces

Thx JlmChuk
So thanks for the info that makes it easy, did you mention a sling seat that felt better on your back ?
And will a sling allow a taller person to fit better ? I’m just under 6ft 190# my son is 160# same height,but only 13 years old Dr
predict 6ft3 so I’m hopefull of having a Mk Vl HH extended with the bmw bike conversion
