strange wing issue...

I've looked at all the threads, didn't see anything like this. ...I installed my cf wing tonight and after it was on, the hydraulics wouldn't work...I'm like, wtf?!. It worked right before, so I unbolt the wing and try it, works fine. After some tinkering I noticed the strut posts are off by maybe 2-3 mm on the wing. I guess its pulled the hydro posts together binding them up. I lubed it up some and now one side pulls down and the other falls slower all crooked. Is there anyway to adjust where those hydro posts sit?

I posted a reply some months back with this same info with someone else with same problem. Your rams are fine, but if when you backed out the original wing, if you turned the ram in the wrong direction or too much, you have binded up (bound up?) the ram. I kept playing with the adjustment and simply lost how many times and what direction I had spun the ram when taking off and reinstalling the new wing.
It's so simple to be laughable, but this is your problem almost certain.
I ended up tucking my tail, and went to my local P-shop, and they reset the right amount of turns in seconds and reinstalled the wing. Problem solved
