Hello All,

Well, since questions and answers are flowing so nicely in here, I have some of my own questions seeking resolution. I am building a CG Super Chipmunk from a kit I got from a friend, who got it from a friend. Like most of you already know, missing pieces is now common and not suprising anymore.

However, I just finished building both the wing halves and went to trial fit them together with the supplied dihedral brace. When I did, the two wing halves are misaligned forward and aft. I went back and repinned the wings to the plans to see if I goofed something up, but found nothing. The only missing pieces in the wings were two ribs and one of the 1/4 x 1/4 braces forward of the main spar.

Anyway, the wing is built and the bottom side is sheeted. Now what do I do? According to the blueprints, I did everything correctly. There was not a definite trim line for the two skins (inboard side of bottom sheeting) so I left them long. Now, I have trimmed to assemble and found this out. I am now at the too late side and looking for advice.

This is only my second kit assembled airplane, but I have built about a dozen from my head. Did I just overlook one of the fundamentals? Help.
