Wing sitting tilted in the fuse
Hi All,
the 2 parts wing constructed for a 1/5th scale war bird is sitting off about 1.5 inch in the fuselage. Though I had taken all care to build a straight wing, but somewhere I did go wrong. Please suggest how can I rectify this.
Thx

You can also check your wing root angles by placing one wing flat on the board and cutting a template of that root angle, then place other wing flat on board and compare root angle with the template.

if the view drawn is looking at the front of the plane, then simply lower the high side of the wing seat until the wings sits horizontal.
the specific height of the wing is really not that critical, as far as flight is concerned, as long as it is reasonably where it designed to be.

Can you take some pictures and post them? A view like in your drawing and then a couple of close up shots of the wing/fuselage junction on both sides of the fuselage. Then maybe a couple of shots of the same spot on the fuselage with the wing off.
You mentioned the wing is a 2 piece. Is it a midwing plane? Where the wing panels plug into the sides? How do the wing panels mount to the fuselage? Just which warbird is it?
Saw a full size C-141 transport once with a wing like that. Took Lockheed close to a year to fix it.
