I am using 3mm carbon rod for the incidence locating peg. Again made small reinforcing discs for it. I am gluing one side at a time to keep my stress levels down. Using the digital incidence guage makes things easier.

[Rod]

BTW I don't use adjustable incidence. I set the wings and tail at 0 degrees and leave it there. Some people set the wing at 1/2 degree positive, I don't. If I really have to adjust something I enlarge the hole and inset another peice of ply.

[Rod]

I cut the reinforcements with a fret saw. The incidence peg will be 5mm carbon tube. Again I am doing one side at a time. Will set up the incidence tomorrow it is only roughly set now.

[Rod]

Finally got the wing set up. Took alot more time than usual. The tail is still 0.2 degrees out so I might have to put in adjusters after all.

this plane i looking awesome, keep up the good work

OK so now for a new Hyde mount for the YS 160. Here is a drawing. I use my cheap cnc system here, print out the part and glue the paper onto the metal or wood and cut out. The metal is 7075 ali tooling plate (very hard).

[Rod]

I rough out the parts and screw them together to machine them.

[Rod]

It's great having the mill drill.

[Rod]

Apply the engineers blue and mark out. Drill and tap. Use a center drill for accuracy. I am only going to use 4mm screws.

[Rod]

Thats the hard part done. I can use the 3mm tapped hole in the side for a remote glow plug lead, unless I use a spark ignition system!
