Default RE: BME CAP Maniac

Well I got a chance to try to work on my cap today. Now im really P*&&ed.. I proceeded to put the dowels in the wing and test fit with the fuse. There is a doubler at the hole. The inside doublers were off from the holes making my dowles protrude outwards not fitting in the fuse. So i drilled them straight and epoxied them in and put the wing on. as i went to bolt the wing on for a test fit before moving to the stab and glueing the ply to the rear of the wing. first thing i ran accross was my wing wouldnt fit in the cradle.. after working it for a while I got it to fit.Then I bolted it down and took measurements to the rear of the fuse.. On the right wing I get 43 1/4 on the left side i get 43 3/4.[:-] So i unbolted and made it so i get the same measurement on both sides.. I came up with 43 1/2. Turns out If i go through all the trouble it takes to make it straight it will be so far off that the graphics on the top side will be way different. I posted a picture of the bottom and i marked the center of the fuse with a pen so it can be seen.. NOTICE the wing join line how crooked it is when the measurements from both wingtips to rear of fuse is right..... I will call BME in the morning and ask ***!!
