Thanks for the input. Now I am having trouble with the wing joiner. I have epoxied the joiner into one side of the wing after I drew a line indicating the halfway point where the wings will meet. I am having trouble getting the other wing to set flat with the other wing. Now that I have sanded both sides of the exposed half of the joiner so much to try to get rid of the gap, the other wing fits loosely and STILL does not set flat with the other wing.
Are you talking about the point at which the two wings meet together?
If you find that the leading and trailing edges meet but the mid points do, then sand the wing root material itself.
Typically only a little bit needs to be removed.

My concern is that even if I did get the gap closed or not (by using lots of epoxy to fill this gap), any mis-alignment when I do glue the wings together could result in a poor flying performance or the wing coming apart.
Right, I tape a sheet of sand paper down on a work surface and sand the wing roots flat.
I do this BEFORE putting the joiner in place to check the fit.
Most ARF's need a bit of sanding or adjustment, no matter the manufacturer to get things right.

The rest of the ARF seems to be okay as far as I can tell.
Taking this into consideration, Is it in this forum where I would talk with a representative with Nitro Models about getting a replacement set of main wings and joiner?
