I posted a question here: http://www.teamkitfox.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=5778 There was some good advice here on this thread so any input would be nice.
I am getting ready to set the wings to the fuselage. The manual states leveling the fuselage from the underside of the fuselage using the lift strut carry-through tube and the bottom tube of the front bulk head. It appears that people also are using the fuselage carry-through tubes on top. Does it matter? Is the underside better as far as a reference for the fuselage datum? I also noted that for weight and balance the underside is used. Is there a obvious reason the underside is used that I'm missing? Thanks, Greg
I think most people use the top carry-through tubes, but it really doesn't matter because they are parallel with the bottom tubes. If you think about it, the top tubes really make more sense because when its flying the whole airplane hangs from these top tubes where the wings attach. The bottom surface is of no consequence. It really boils down to what is easiest to use and reference to.
