Ok well i bolted on the wing of my p-47 thunder bolt measured twice and glued on the belly pan, now as I prepare to install the vertical stabilizer i noticed the wings have a 1/16 of an inch difference from wing tip to the end of the fuselage. should I ignore the 1/16 difference and adjust the stabilizer to be equally spaced or should I re-do the belly pan to make everything perfectly aligned.

Hi,
If you were building a competition aerobatic pattern ship I would say, take the wing back off and try again.
BUT, you are building a scale model, you will not have a problem with 1/16 inch error.
Put the fin on central to the fus and enjoy.

1/16" shouldn't make much of a difference on that plane. You should be fine.

1/16 difference? That means you would only need to move one wing tip 1/32" to be perfect. I personally doubt you are measuring it that accurately and even if you I can't think of any plane it would make a difference on.

Sheesh, get over it.

You could always put a 1/16" thick strip of balsa allong the side of the fuse with the longer wing ....

1/16 your a lucky man thats perfect for a H-9, my mustang was over a 1/4 took some adjusting to get it on the $.
put a check mark in that box and go to the next step

if you are like me 1/16 would wake you up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. but I am weird that way. these guys are probably right.. 1/16 is no big deal, unless you happen to be a weirdo like me.

Do you want to build my planes? Good job, no biggie!
