Denny-- wing rigging

Hi Denny, I'm converting a Lark into a taildragger, yes this is a huge project and the aircraft will qualify for the amature built category here in Canada when done.
Denny, any info you have regarding the rigging of the wings or special tools that may be needed would be of great benifit to me.
If you have the time, give me a shout. I would be iterested in the tools needed and data.
Warmest Regards
John Willis

If the adjustment is made incorrectly all kinds of bad things happen to the angle of attack, which will affect the flight controls.

If the maintenance manual does not explain how to adjust the eccentric’s I would suggest contacting the manufacture for assistance. If the manufacture does not want to assist you can contact me and I will help you obtain the correct data. This is a very important task.
