Default stupid mistake - wing warp

Thanks for the quick response guys!

The wing of the Top Flite kit is built up balsa, not foam core. Top Flite uses these cradles to set the wing into and then "warp" in the washout before putting on the bottom sheeting.

It seems the tip cradles held just fine, but the left wing seemed to have moved 1 degree total. You can't tell from looking at it and I spent about 3 hours checking every square inch of that wing and it starts at the center and gets better as it goes out towards the tip...

I'm looking right now at possibly purchasing foam wings from a foam cutting company as a backup plan... Anybody know of a company who makes foam wings for this bird?
