Default difficult incidence

Hey all,

I'm on the home stretch to getting my Sig Astro Hog done and ready for covering with Monykote and I've run into a problem that I thought I would past the collective consciousness.

I can't seem to get the wing incidence below 2 degrees positive (the plans call for 1-1/2 degrees positive incidence). I've been sanding all day long and can't seem to make any improvement whatsoever. The guage (brand new) always reads 2-1/4 degrees on one side and 2 degrees on the other. Frankly I'm scared to sand any more until I understand more of what's going on.

So anyone with any helpful suggestions is most welcome to reply to poor old Dave. [&o]

I'd like to get the incidence within 1/4 degree rather than the 1/2 allowance in the guage's instructions. For what it's worth here is a link to some photos ...

I'm so fed up that I'm about to throw the front dowels away and glue in some more wing bolt blocks.
