The Barn Find Build

[Jerrytex]

We are all building model 5's and I too am using a combination of the the KF 5 manual and the new manual.

I ran into something that the new manual addressed, but the old manual didn't, and it bit me. There is no mention (or at least that I saw, but then again, I can read something 5 times and get 6 different meanings) of folding the wings in the KF 5 manual after rigging and checking the clearance between the #1 rib and the rear cary through spar. The new manual has this in it and specifies that the #1 rib might need trimming (before covering) so that the wings will fold back all the way. Well....I missed this and sure enough, the left wing hits about 2" shy of folding all the way back, and my wings are covered. I haven't figured out what I want to do on this screw up yet. But just a heads up for y'all.......since you're about to be at this stage.
