Tim,

judging from the fit of the wing on the fuse saddle, I'd say that the two were never quite mated in the construction process. Aside from the gap at the rear of the saddle behind the wing TE - which is quite an easy fix, the front fuse chin on the wing seems like it wasn't sanded to match the fuse bottom contour. More importantly though, the wing top at the front doesn't seem to mate properly with the front wing saddle.

My observation is not really a criticism but rather just something you might want to address when you strip the covering as Crank suggests. You'll be able to re-mate the wing to the fuse so the bolts are not subject to undue pressure caused by air entering the fuse at the saddle junction. The pressure applied to the screws is also commensurate with the mating of the two parts and if they don't mate well, you'll have high pressure points along the junction.

I'd make sure that the two parts mate well before mounting the wing permanently (presumably with dowels in the front and screws in the rear) and recovering. The saddle TE will just need a piece of balsa/ply to cover the gap and a patch of covering.

My 2c, David.
