Okay guys, I have been following all these SSE builds for several months while I built my own SSE. I have certainly learned a great deal from RCU which has save me countless errors I can assure you!

I have now reached a somewhat major milestone in my SSE build (pic #1) - I now have something that actually resembles a plane! This thing may fly after all!

Anyway, when fitting the wings to the fuselage my elation quickly faded as I discovered a gap between the fuselage side and the wing root. Not all the way down the root, however. This is true for both the top and bottom of each wing. I have some pics that hopefully describe:

Picture2 - Top Right Wing. Flush with fuse for about 1/2 the length, then it pulls out at the leading edge.

Picture3 - Scale reference. Looks like 1/16" gap.

Picture4 - Bottom Right Wing. Not nearly as flush as the top portion of the wing.

Picture5 - Scale Reference. Again the gap is approx 1/16".

So, how bad is this?

How should I proceed? Should I try and sand down the "high side" and try to get the wing to go flush?

I worry about changing the aerodynamic portion of the wing/fuse relationship and fear the "fix" might be worse than what I perceive to be the problem ... know what I mean?

Thanks for the help!!
