Some of the specific problems I encountered during the pre-assembly process were:

• The first real problem was the strip that had been bonded to provide an enlarged bonding area for the panel inside the spar opening in the wing.  This strip had been pushed up some during the closeout and was just enough to keep the main spar from moving down enough to get the spar bolts in place.  Sanding and grind this down took several hours and scratched up my arm considerably.

• Setting the angle of incidence was not a real problem but it took a tremendous amount of time due to having to constantly move back and forth to check the angles.  It was a very time consuming process because of the logistics of working alone.

• The flap actuator guide channel, which I had made in the extended length needed trimming.  Once fit without interfeerence, it proved to be too far from the guide and I had to remove it and add a 1/4" spacer.  This was repeated on the right wing as well but the spacer was a bit thinner.  I had some problems drilling the holes for mounting the flap guides but I think I did the right thing by not mounting them before.  By waiting, I was able to position the flaps, the guides, and then lock everything into the proper place.  It took more time but the flaps are exactly the same.

• Fitting the fairings, expecially the under side fairings was not all that difficult but was time consuming because of trying to hold things in place while setting screws or tape.  Once again, it took a lot of time to position, adjust, reposition, trim, and finally set in place.  The results are great but it just took a huge amount of time.

• Fitting the aileron controls were probably the most frustrating of all the operations.  I measured and cut, measured and cut and repeated the operations over and over.  The first wing pushrod I measured and cut but cut it about 1/2 inch shorter than ideal.  It works but I may make a new one simply to make myself feel better.  After that, I cut every thing long, fit, cut, fit, cut, and finally fit again.  I wanted to make sure that I didn't cut another one short.  The biggest problem was trying to get the proper elevator travel that I needed.  I adjusted and readjusted until I was sick of the whole thing but could not get the proper movements.  I had added spacers between station 30 and the bellcrank bracket.  I also added a 1/4" spacer to the bellcrank to position the control rod within the wings leading edge.  Still, I couldn't get the proper movement. What I had failed to remember was that the change from dual sticks to a center stick had changed the amount of movement in the controls.  I decided to move the mounting point for the fuselage bellcrank to a hole that I had added when I installed the spacer and see if things worked better.  Finally, the controls were giving the amount of movement needed.  The stick will be a bit more sensitive but I think I will like it much better.

• Bonding of the fairings gave me two very different problems.  I had fit the fairings dry and with the flaps in their retracted position.  I then lowered the flaps and performed the bonding operation with flaps out of the way.  BIG MISTAKE.  Two problems surfaced during the bonding operation.  The adhesive was very thick and some of the adhesive pushed the gaps open between the original screws.  I had to add additional screws which in turned pulled the fairing down resulting in some distortion.  The fairing that fit over the flaps shifted slightly and the result was that the flaps now caused the fairing to bulge at the wing.  The cure is still in progress and has required several adjustments.

• HEAT!  HUMIDITY!  The September heat wave has made everything more difficult and the work has moved much slower than would otherwise be the case.  I have to take frequent breaks to avoid heat exhaustion and by the end of the day, I feel beaten and discouraged by the progress.  

It is very possible for a single individual to perform all the tasks necessary to accomplish the preassembly and the ultimate final assembly.  It is a daunting task but with planning and time, it will prove doable.
