Last night, I was finalizing the details on the wing of my LT-40. I then laid it on top of the fuse to see how tightly it fit. Its pretty close, however, with it perfectly centered, it has a tiny bit of wobble in it as it lays on top of the fuse. Its the same wobble you'd get if a chair was missing a foot. For example, if I push down on the rear right corner, the left front raises up just a tad. The rear left/ front right combination is tight as a drum.

The play, in my estimation, is about 1-2mm or so. Its not bad at all. But my "ANAL" siren is blasting telling me that it should fit perfectly snug. The airplane is not covered yet, it will be soon, and I have not painted it with the fuel proof dope yet. These things might fill in some gaps and make it tighter.

Also, once I get the rubber bands on, the downward force of the bands, might be enough to "flatten" out the wing and make it perfect.

Based on my description, should this little bit of play be of concern?

Thanks.

I doubt there should be any concern as soon as you mount it with the rubber bands. Put the 14 or so bands on there and it wont move.

Put some wing seating tape, 1/8" thick, on the fuse. That will stop the "shakes".
