I own one of the first 25 or so KingCats delivered......it is well known that some of the early and even some of the later models had a bad boom to wing fit.....mine were particularly bad......1/4" gap at leading edge root on one side and 5/16" gap on the trailing edge root on the other side.....

Within 5 days of mentioning this to BV, I received 2 new wings and wing tubes that were slightly modified at BVM(bent)....perfect fit now.....

I think the wings are coming thru much better now, but if you have an older kit with bad fit, just call BVM for a fix....i.e. new tubes......

One of our club members just finished a new yellow/blue scheme KC and the fits were near perfect......if you want an absolutely perfect fit, then go for the unpainted, and smear some putty, like in the old non-ARF days...

I have visited Pro Builder, Barry West's shop in Orlando area recently where there were 4 early production ARF Bobcats under construction and the fits were all very good....I also saw Scott Marr's, Tim Redelman's and Paul Lott's ARF Bobcats at MAB, and the fits were all very tight....as was the fit as reported by John Redman.....except for Tim and John, no BVM reps in that group.....

So, if there is a problem, give BVM a call, shoot them some photos, etc......seems to work for me....
