Dennis- The reason the wings are mounted 2 1/2" back from standard is that they are not the original wings. The original wings were damaged in a storm rollover when the tie-down rope broke, just before I bought it. I can't positively identify the airframe, or the replacement wings. No papers, no serial numbers. TNK recommended the wing mount mod- a piece of 2 1/2" channel on the forward mount. I had to make up new control rods for the ailerons. I requested information from this List, and everyone recommended a prop spacer. I have a 2 1/2" one coming in from Lockwood. I can't check the CG until I get better weather- too windy. Scott Olendorf sent me a weight and balance chart. I should be within the limit, as I only weigh 170, and the Firestar has a 725 gross.
The original wing set- clipped- needs repair from the flip over. They would mount in the original position.
