So I sell Takuma Foils but there is no info on the assembly of the foil. I understand where everything goes but is there a specific torque these bolts should be set at? Also do the foil wings sit perfectly square to the mast or is it normal to have them offset a bit (like a degree or so...I'm an old chippy that has a dead eye for things that aren't square).
Thanks in advance from Nova Scotia!

hand set so it is tight but moderate force required to loosen. it will loosen a little by the end of the session due to the flex and stress put on the wings and the mast / fuselage.
the wings should sit square otherwise you increase or decrease the AOA (Angle of Attack), this can result in increased lift and more drag or reduced lift, possibly even diving.
