Default RE: Tiger 60 build question

I just finished a Mid West Super-Hots from plans. I don't know how it happened. Somehow the rear of the fus from the TE of the wing to the back of the fus ended up with almost a1/4" twist. I fought & fought it. Wetting w/water & alcohol w/ weights & couldn't get the twist all out. I ended up sanding the saddle for the stabalizer level with the rest of the plane & finished it. Needless to say,the maiden flight was a little scary, not knowing how it would fly. Well, it did just fine. No problems at all. I did double check the incidence on the stab. It was fine. I guess as long as the stab is"plumbed" w/ everything else & the incidence is correct a little twist don't hurt a thing !!
