The Clunk

when you are shimming the wing.. make sure to make the proper nose to wing
tip measurements to keep the wings aligned and in trim..

My Libelle has developed a clunk. Seems like something big moving
around.
I appreciate the leads on where you looked for yours.

Fore and aft play in the wings will produce "clunks" on a Libelle. Check
your wing "spigots" (the metal stubs that fit into the wing roots).
These usually have shims on them to control the fore and aft play in the
wings. These shims have a habit of falling off inside the trailer or
onto the ground during disassembly of the ship. I don't remember what
the clearances are supposed to be, but get yourself some thin shims or
shim stock and try shimming the wing. You can tell when you have too
much shim when the holes through the spars for the wing pin won't line
up.

As always, you can contact Striefeneder for more info and I'm pretty
sure he sells shims too.

All the best,
