For some reason when rigging the wings today we just couldn't get the sweep correct? It was perfect last night when we left. What changed? We added heaters on Port and Starboard sides of fuse. We had terrible rain last night and humidity was high. Hours of adjusting and readjusting with no success.
There were pencil lines on the tips of the wings to show where to string our size E Dacron string.
I put the string on the wrong side of the tape.
Alan is still laughing at me!
Within 5 minutes Art who was working in our hangar, (we are borrowing Richie's hangar across the way to rig wings), knew about my mistake.
Alan was brave against a torrent to spread the word.
The tape is now marked better.
