REFLECTOR: Leveling the plane

[NMFlyer1 at aol.com]

I had an odd thing happen with my wing incidence guage. After I built my 
wings, when I was getting ready to attach them to the plane I noticed that the 
incidence guage was warped. 

I called the factory and asked if I could buy a new one. They said yes, but 
told me that many of them do that and it would still be accurate. I asked them 
to pacify me and send another anyway, which they did. 

Once the new incidence guage showed up, I was a bit confused. They were not 
the same size. One of them was about 2" longer than the other. I called the 
factory and talked to Mark M. to find out what was up. ( I thought one of them 
may be for the small wing, another for the large wing). He had me measure them 
and then things got really strange. 
My origonal wing jig was not the right size for anything! Mark said he really 
didnt know how that could happen, as they have a jig they build them in. It 
was determined that the new one was correct. I am glad I was anal enough to 
want to replace the warped jig because the origonal one would have been wrong. 

I appreciate the factory humoring me on my first call and sending the jig 
anyway. They also did not charge me for the new jig. 

So, if you have a bad feeling that a jig or piece is incorrect... follow 
through. It just might be something is not right.
