Default possible problem!??

hey guys,
i am building an astro hog and just found a problem. i was just doing the finishing sanding on the wing and somehow noticed the halves weren't the same length! so i got the numbers out and found that one side is 1/16 shorter then the other whitch is 1/16 longer then the short side! haha i can count[8D]. so is this gonna be a problem or is it just gonna be that thing that is always going to bother me??
thanks

adam

sand the 1/16th off the long one, but don't mix them up and sand it off the short one.

Measured twice, marked twice, cut it twice and it's still too short

You could mount the wing 1/32" off the fuselage center

Don't spend any more time worrying about it - it's a non problem...

There is no way you'll detect the difference of 1/16" during flight. Shoot, you won't even notice that when it's on the ground. Just don't tell anyone and fly it.
