After some discussions with Jack Webb and the factory, I have arrived at two ways to "adjust" the incidence of your LIV wings. 1) Remove the aluminum plates on the aft spar stub (may require removing wing) 2) Remove aft seat pan to gain access to area. 3) Replace original aluminum plates with new ones without spar bolt hole drilled. 4) Reinstall wings and carefully measure incidence at inboard edge and wing tip-- being certain to zero out difference between the two. This requires a smart level . Jack suggests measuring at the flat spot at the trailing edge of the wing just forward of the flaps. Factory instructions include a template for setting "zero" incidence of the wing. You can get template from Vern and make a tool to do this. Important to get both wings equal in incidence. Jack's method does not require the template. 5) Support both aft spars with wing incidence equal in each wing. Small wood blocks and  shim stock work well. 6) Redrill from backside of gearbox through new aluminum plates on aft stub spar. Be carefull to keep drill straight for close tolerance hole. May need a drill guide for this.

An alternative to this method is to perform steps 2, 4 and 5 from above and then, upsize aft spar hole being careful to get center of hole correct. Will. require a drill guide.

Jack Webb can fill you in on the details, I am getting ready to do this sonn.
