I purchased an L-23 a few months back. I hope to fly soon. It's still tucked away in the trailer.

I purchased three wing stands from Wing & Wheels to assist with assembly.

Are there any tips out there to make the process go smoothly? I moved the wings around when we did the annual & they're quite heavy though manageable.

When installing the T-tail would a couple of step ladders be advised?

It's been over 20 years since I've done this.

Thanks in advance.

Just put ours together Saturday. A crew of five, one wing stand. For the wings, it's generally easiest to put the drag spar pin in first.

Four guys on the tail. One on each tip, one on the leading edge, one other whose job it is to eyeball the elevator pins (grease thoroughly!) and sockets and get everyone lined up. Ladder not required and probably just in the way. Center the trim tab and trim lever before assembly.
