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.
You did not indicate how bad the misalignment is. Is it an eighth inch?, a quarter inch?, More? The more Error you have the more obvious the mistake should be to find.
When you line the two halves together is the dihedral brace centered equally on the main spar on each side? Dihedral brace usually lines up at the same points relative to the main spar on both halves.
Can you tell if the main spar lines up correctly from one wing half to the other with the brace IN? With it OUT? Main spar should be in same position on both halves
The two halves should be mirrored copies of each other. Compare some accurate measurements of the parts you can see in both wings. The plans can be wrong!!! Hold the two drawings up back to back to the light and see if they align with each other (you may need to cut them apart to do this, if you haven't already).
