Default Great Planes Yak 25% Horiz. Stab alignment problem

I was just mocking up my Horizontal stab to mark where i would have to remove the covering and came across a problem. I had the wings bolted in place and had the back of the horiz. stab centred but when i measure from the wingtip to the front tip of the stab i get a diff. of 1/2 inch from one side to the other. There is not enough wiggle room to adjust enough to make them equal distances...... what do i do to fix this??

Looks like your going to have to fix it or send it back. You think it would be right from the factory.

Not really an option as i bought the ARF still in the box privatly from someone who was exiting the hobby. After monkeying around with it last night i got it inside of a 1/4" difference with a tiny bit of trimming and shimming, then i glued it in place and checked everything and it lined up inside of a 1/8" difference..... so good enough for this guy!!
