                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The strut attachment brackets on the trailing edge spars each consist of 2 parts, 19 &amp; 20 for the upper wings, 21 &amp; 22 for the lower.  The parts each have a 6mm hole where the rigging pin or bolt goes through, and it's important that the holes in each component in a pair line up with each other.  I found if you just fix the parts into place on the spar sometimes they don't line up exactly.  I checked with the makers, and the answer is to keep them in line with a 6mm bolt while the parts are assembled.</p>
<p>I found a good quality M6 stainless steel bolt with a smooth shank works very well.  I use washers &amp; larger nuts as spacers to position the components on the smooth part of the bolt, and also a miniature G-clamp further along the edge of the components.  I clamp the paired parts together into a unit before fixing the first component to the spar, then keep them clamped until I need to separate them to fix the second component, later in the construction of the wing.  When fixing the second component I again use the bolt to ensure the holes line up, and leave it in place until the mastic has set</p>

<p><span>My first Dingo wing, assembled ready for covering. The structure only weighs 6.7kg and feels very strong. I took my time building this one slowly and carefully, but now I'm familiar with the process the other three should go more quickly. I plan to use Oratex for the covering, as it's lighter than traditional materials. It's also a lot cleaner and less hazardous to apply, with no fire risk and no need for spray equipment. I'm sure traditional materials are fine if you're </span><span></span><span>set up for them and have a bit of experience, but I'm starting from scratch. The UK agent for Oratex is TLAC, and I'll go on one of their one-day courses for beginners. They need a couple more candidates to hold the next course, so if anyone's interested please get in touch with them: </span><span><a class="x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x6umtig x1b1mbwd xaqea5y xav7gou x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz xt0b8zv x1fey0fg" role="link" href="https://www.g-tlac.com/oratex/?fbclid=IwAR1IOS4dma00_N648dOLsJvcTAsfMKuNdm5sLN7ymmpecTaT4TbA1kq_U8w" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.g-tlac.com/oratex/</a></span></p>
