I've decided to cut some new wing saddles to bring down the leading edge and install extra wing bolt retaining blocks near the dowel location by the F2 bulkhead.

Last night I used sheets of paper that were 0.004 thousandths thick to shim down the leading edge. I was able to achieve 1-/3/4 degrees of positive incidence after using a whopping 0.084" of shims on the starboard side and 0.028" of shims on the port side.

I like my idea since, although it's not less work, it negates having to sand down the rear saddles so deeply. I'll glue the lite-ply saddles on the inside and sand to achieve the correct incidence, then fill with either EpoxoLite or epoxy and microballoons. The dowels will remain for alignment.
