Default RE: SIG Fourstar 40 (4*) Build Thread

I fitted and glued the wing mounting dowel into the wing.

Before drilling the wing mounting holes, I used string to make sure that both ends of the wings were the same distance from a point at the end of the fuselage. I had to 'scoot' the wing sideways just a little to achieve this. I then drew a line on the fuselage and the wing to use as a guide before I drilled and tapped.

Notice a small gap between the wing bottom and fuselage - I don't think it will be a problem.

The landing gear is off center. I won't know how badly this will affect taxiing until I get the tail wheel on, but does anyone have a suggestion for a fix? Should I be able to slightly bend the aluminum where the wheels screw in?
