Default Wagstaff Wingtube problems

Hi Guys got a real problem with my GP 25% Wagstaff wingtube & need help please. The tube siezes in the wing & fuselage after flying I mean I can barely take the wings off the plane & something will break eventually. I have shaved the tube down & also slightly increased the diameter of the tube hole in both wing panels & the fuselage but by the end of the day I can barely get them apart. Anybody heard of this before & tried a different wingtube that may work maybe carbon???? Thanks guys

That was a problem with the earlier kits. Keep sanding until you get a good fit.

Same problem here. Just took some sandpaper 3M77 and some PVC pipe and made a sander. Works great, take your time you don't want to sand to much. Great flying plane worth the effort.
