Well Fred the short answer is, Hanger space... It just happened the RV-4 we have been working on went to paint and I had the hanger for 2 weeks. Heat and tools is my motive. I also thought what the heck I might as well video tape it while I'm at it since people were calling me asking simple questions like how to remove the fuel filler neck. As you know alot of people are 2nd and 3rd owners so what is simple to us is not so clear to others.<br />
As for the upgrades... they are pretty straight forward…

As for the upgrades... they are pretty straight forward for the wings so I felt like that was ok to do using the draft and a couple of things didn't work but because I was doing it on a newer wing I called Zenith and let them know. We still wouldn't have known if the upgrade would or wouldn't have worked on wing lockers if I had not have done the upgrade so I am glad I could help in that respect also.<br />

Just one question- what is your motive in jumping the gun on all of these mods? The drawings are still drafts, subject to change, and parts could also be changed. Does not seem to wise to me.<br />

Hello Jeff,<br />
<br />
Thanks for the post. I had the same idea. Did you prop up the wing to eliminate weight on the spar while doing the surgery?<br />
