I rember that on mine too...The Push rods were a bit tight at first... Glad you got your wing sorted out...You will have lots of fun with that plane , at least I did with mine..What motor are you using? I used an OS46 and it was a perfect match...Watch the cross wind take offs. They can be a bit hairy...Also it likes to drag its tail in the turns so to make a nice looking turn you need to use your rudder. Thats okay because it a good thing to learn to use your rudder anyway...The sooner you get rid of the crap on the wings the better...It flys better with out that stuff. Plus the auto pilot thing is nothing but a problem fighting you to fly. I would ditch it rite off the bat...If you dont know how to fly better to get an instructor to buddy box you for a few flights and if you do know how to fly you dont need it anyway ...Good luck... Keep us posted please
