Default RE: Great planes RV-4 help

those who have built the rv-4 40...did your wing halves turn out exactly the same? i built the 2 halve and joined them together and now the wing is slightly diff but not twisted.

i did a build thread on this plane and have tons of build pictures...maiden flights and the several flights after proved fun ,flew well.....BUT.......I TRIMMED THE AILERONS TO STOP A RIGHT TURN AND AFTER TRIMMING TO A SMOOTH HANDS OFF FLYING ...I LANDED TO FIND ONE AILERON UP ,OTHER DOWN BUT A FULL 1/4" opps sorry for the capitails

looking closely at the wings it seems one side is at a diff degree than the other ever so slightly. anyone whos built this strange design wing will know its strong and not go to be able to fix it. i call gp to see if they have heard of this happening before and they said "no".......anyway,looks like i'll be buying a wing replacement kit to get this girl back in the air.

just a few pictures of the finished product....any suggestions would be helpfull ,thanks,stu
