I am having a problem with the ARF Senior Telemaster wing. When installing the two internal "V-shaped" braces into the wing halves and then sliding the wing together, it does not meet properly. The aft three or four inches is out of line with the opposite wing half.

Upon inspection I discovered the internal wing braces are made with one side longer than the other - on both pieces, the long one and the short one. Measuring from the end to the "V" center, one end is almost an inch longer than the other. Something like 10 7/8" on one side and 11 111/4" on the other side of the support. The other support is similarly disproportionate.

Does this make the wings not meet and match evenly at the join? It seems like maybe it shouldn't make any difference, as the internal braces shouldslide into the wing to their middle no matter how far into the wing they go?

I am considering cutting off the long end of the braces so they are both equal in length on either side of the "V" bottom.

Anyone have any ideas, suggestions, or plain know what the problem is, other than the whole thing being in the hands of a novice, that is....? Thanks very much. Mike.
