    Everytime I go to this Forum I find out something I wish I hadn't found out. This has to do with drag and anti-drag wires. After reading a old posting about making sure the drag wires were over the anti-drag wires, I peeked in an inspection hole and notice some drag wires were correct, some were not. I just recovered a wing without knowing this! Also, they are tied loosely together with tape between them. There does not seem to be any significant twist in the wing that I can't take out with the rear strut screws. So, is this something I need to lose anymore sleep over (having lost sleep over oil pressure problems and aileron spars lately)? I don't see how I can correct the problem without taking off the cover.

      Mine are mixed as well and I have not covered yet, I have however trammeled and everything is set. I do not plan to re-do anything. I have a clipwing though and the wing is much stiffer than the standard wing.

      Flying is easy- to go up you pull back, to go down you pull back a little farther.

        I guess unless someone comes on who tells me this is real trouble, I'll leave it alone. There doesn't seem to be a problem with the trim of the plane. If there were twist like was mentioned in the forum, I'd be doing slow rolls.

        Thanks for the input
