Default Aresti--Just me or...

I'm working on my Aresti and I have stumbled across a few things that I wonder if anyone else had a problem with.

1) The axles--too short to center the wheel in the wheel pants

2) Fitting the wheel pants--I drilled the first hole 5/8" up from the bottom. Now my wheel rubs agaisnt the wheel pant

3) The wing bolt plate--the plate is flat,; the wing is not. I sanded the exposed wood, sanding more out of the middle and tapered up to the outboard sides.

So far, these are the problems I have ran into. Nothing major, and 2 of the three are easy fixes for the manufactor. Just put in longer axles and change the instructions to drill the hole 1/2" up form the bottom. I still really like the airplane and look forward to finishing it.
