Default RE: BRIO Construction by the numbers

OK, so one wing tip is exactly 1/16 inch wider than the other tip. Both Leading edges start to taper more at about 1/8 inch (starting from about 12 inches out) and one is just sanded about 1/16 more than the other. How about the trailing edge? When you take the rulers (assuming the rulers are straight) and lay them precisely along the wing trailing edges (ailerons not on) and where they meet at the center (assuming the wing tubes are mounted perfectly straight and the carbon fiber wing tube is perfectly straight) another 1/16 of an inch difference there.
