    Default Leveling SS7 for rigging ??

    The instructions say to level fore and aft using a level between the strut attach cross tube to the forward bulkhead cross tubing...........I'm assuming that the forward bulkhead is the firewall?
    It further states to level the plane side to side..........but doesn't say where........again, I'm assuming the spar attach crossbars could be used or the tubing running between the left and right spar attach points..........yes/no......or what do I use? Thanks

    Fore/aft level is measured between the fore and aft wing spar carry through tubes. I did it with a level beneath the tubes. You might want to remove the turtle deck if your level is too long.

    Side to side level is done by putting a level on a spar carry through tube.

    I did it the same way Phil describes. The manual says to use the bottom tubes, but to me the two upper spar carry-thru tubes are much more convenient. I checked with John McB and he said either way works fine.
