16.3". Also measure the width between the two points that you took
the measurements at.
.....
You are now ready to transfer the information onto the main wing
foam cores with a felt tipped marker pen. Using the main wing shear
web and the BL00 foam core joint as the reference mark the two points
on the foam cores, and connect them with a line. That line should
represent where the FS78 bulkhead will meet the main wing core.
Verify by making measurements that this line intersects the main wing
leading edge inside the fuselage once the main wing has been mounted.
If it doesn't, then you will have to taper and round the main wing
core area outside the fuselage sides to avoid an ugly looking flat
spot on your main wing. Next, move the line aft about 0.10" to allow
for the glass buildup as you laminate the main wing skins and spar
caps. This second line on the main wing cores is the trim line.
NOTE
.....
All measurements indicated above
should be made along a WL, not along
the contour of the wing.
SHOULDER HARNESS INSERT INSTALLATION
.....
Each shoulder harness is installed in a Y fashion to the lower
main wing. Prior to glassing the bottom of the main wing, the
shoulder harness inserts (2) must be installed.
.....
Find the two 1" square by 3/16" thick mild steel plates provided
(SH1).
.....
Install one of them with flox at about BL9 left, about 2" along
contour (ac) from the trim line, flush to the surface of the main
wing foam core. Install the second SH1 similarly at BL9 right.
PREPARING THE MAIN WING CORES FOR GLASSING
.....
At this point, the main wing cores should be jigged on your
jigging table upside down, 5-minuted and bondo’ed in place, and not
about to move under anything short of an earthquake.
.....
Use a hard block to clean up all joggles, excess micro, and any
bumps on the main wing cores. At BL00, round the joint so that the
glass will flow smoothly across the joint. At the T.E. (shear web),
round the corner so that the glass will flow smoothly down the face
of the shear web.
.....
This is your last chance to determine the shape of your main
