[quote=gareth.ky;544307]The motor box sides and the lite ply pieces that mount to the truss sides are drilled exactly the right size for the tube. All those parts are CNC cut from Carden. All you have to do is make sure they end up in exactly the right place.

Ahh, so it was a check, not an adjustment. Just wanted to make sure, as I have read a few Carden threads and everyone seems to include this step. I would of course want to know that they are square anyways, and if not, I would have to elongate the holes.

I think you can check that the wingtube is level to the stab tube with a simple wood "U" that goes around the fuse sides and touched each side of the tube with the level resting on the "U". I think I saw Walt do something like that.

Either way, I just pre-ordered my 40% 260 for this fall. No stopping now. Not that I would.
