Default RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

I have been working on the wing joiner. Got it to fit in the wing, what I thought was good. Figured I would test fit it on the fuse before I glue it all down, see how it fits and looks.

Put the two wings on with the joiner in the fuse and there is a gap on both sides of the fuse where the joiner goes into the wing. [:@] I was expecting a gap at the rear where most have put the wing bolt to close it off but that area is touching. It's also touching at the wing tip, so it looks like it's bowed in the middle. Did I forget something or is there another way to fix this.

I measured the gap, it's 1/32 on the top and 3/32 on the bottom of both wings.

Hints, clues???

I was thinking of trimming a little off the end of the joiner that sticks out of the right wing and use a dowel or something similar to pull the wings togethor tight enough to pull the gap out. However, this may put too much stress on the fuse where the wing will be pushing on it.
