I don't think this will be a problem Alen , I have followed the plan and read several building logs and the wing is always connected in this way ,
also I have contact with a fb friend who flies a Falcon for many years with also the same wingconnection without any problems ,
so I have reasonable confidence that this is good , but thanks anyway for your concern .
