I removed the weight box so that I could stand the bird on its nose and check the distance of each wing panel from the table.

The lowers were exactly equal, the upper took a lot of fiddling to get right: drilling out the holes in all the brass "feet" on the cabane struts, and pushing the right side struts aft and the left side forward. Once I got it about right, I poured a mix of epoxy/milled glass over all the cabane mount points so they will stay in place. The upper panels are within 1/16 - 1/8" of each other, leading edge wise, depending on how I hold my mouth when installing the top wing.

The interplane struts are two lengths, and I remember quite a bit of debate about whether the long or short should go on the LE or the TE. The book contributed to this by saying (misprint) that the shorts should go in both places. After I spent all that time getting the upper wing at 90 degrees to the fuse, the long and short of it [:'(] became obvious: the short ones go in front, and the long ones in back. They fit nicely, and the panel incidences are perfect: the lowers are basically 0 deg each; and the uppers are both about 1 degree negative. (Decalage or something they call that, I think. So many lovely French words in aviation.) When I set this bird up the first time, about 6 years ago, I had it all screwed up.

Ailerons are hooked up, so Snoopy awaits the motor and packs for final assembly.
