Right before I decided to build my strakes I remember that several long ez's I see have a horrible uneven transition line between the wings and strakes at the leading edge. I've seen CRAZY 3/4" differences on some. Totally unacceptable. I decided to do ONE last incidence and sweep check before starting the construction. GLAD I DID. I finally was able to use the actual hotwire template on the inboard side the the wings leading edge and this provided a great waterline to work with instead of those pathetic pieces of lumber Rutan says to use. "wood isn't straight" Anyways, I was able to remove several shim washers and get the wings to within .2 degrees of each other. I then trimmed up the strake kit that I have from Task Research and placed them into a basic position and found that they are slightly smaller than the wing at the leading edge which is PERFECT because this means a buffer in the filler that can be shaped to match the leading edge after all flight testing is complete. So tomorrow the strake construction will begin. The final large structure to be built on this bird.
