Hello Everyone,
Twenty years ago I started a Carl Goldberg Eagle II and then stopped. I completed the woodwork on the wing and covered it with Coverite's, Super Coverite (fabric type). I did not have a flat, warp-free surface to work on and now I have a wing that is not exactly true.
In starting to finish the plane, as tested recently, with the wing root at 0° incidence, as it should be, the left wing tip is at -.25° and the right wing tip was at -2.75°. There should be no washout.
I have tried un-warping the right wing panel by re-shrinking the covering. That only got me 1.0°. It is now -1.75°.
The Eagle II is not supposed to have any washout. Do you think it wise to get the left wing tip to -1.75 as well, or work to get rid of the washout all together, as it should be ? Or will something else make more sense?
I built the wing as the trainer version with the most dihedral. If I built the wing today, I believe I would built I would build the sport version.
I Greatly Appreciate Any suggestions you might wish to offer,
Wayne R. Russ
