I got some 100 grit sand paper today and plan on doing some more sanding of the wing joiner holes to get the joiner to slide in and out easier. I still plan on doing some sanding of the joiner themselves to get them to butt up against the balsa in the wings.

Ed I decided after seeing the wing root is straight that I wasn't going to do any sanding on them; it's straight so why sand a curve into them. That does make sense about added stress by putting another former in the fuse. The gaps measures 2/32 on each side, that's only 1/16 of an inch. I'm not going to worry about it.

If I think it's causing me trouble after I get it in the air I can put some wing saddle tape in that area to close the gap.

Strutz, I was thinking of adding two wood screws on the H stab, under the V stab to help hold it on with the glue. I was thinking of putting them about 1/2 to 3/4 from the front and rear of the stab. I saw it done on a giant CAP for added strength. Do you think this would help or hinder?
