Default RE: joining wing center section

Note the wedge shaped spacer between the two panels in the previous post. The first effort to join wing panels did not result in a straight wing. So sawed the wing into up to the main spar from leading edge and trailing edge. Re epoxyed with spacers to straighten and align. It is now straight but may not be as strong as it should be.

The next problem to work out is how to put hatch over the fuel tank. The original plan called for a simple straight piece of plywood screwed to the firewall and held at the back with a tongue under the plywood wind shield. With this tank set up more space is needed above the tank to accommodate the tubing. suggestions are welcome.
