Ryan,
To align the wing, I trued the firewall perpendicular. Then I made
sure the plane was level across the longerons in the cockpit. I used
a water level wing tip to wing tip, I didn't like the idea of
sighting down a level, that seemed a bit hokey to me. I then leveled
the wing angel using the epoxied on wood pieces put on top of the
wing when it is constructed. Then we floxed it in place. I didn't
put the bids and uni's on till just recently (perfect temp and
weather). I hope that it turns out well as I've read a lot of
discussions in the Q group which denotes how critical the alignment
is between the two wings. I later verified some of these setups
using a digital level before I did the uni's and bids.
