SIG 1/5 scale cub
 
Putting together the second (right) wing I have noticed that I have made a mistake on the leading edge of the first wing I built (left). I failed to trim down the leading edge sheet so ithe trailing edge would rest halfway along the main spar. Instead, I simply glued in the entire 3" sheet which overshoots the main spar approx. .50 inches or so. I ignorantly went ahead and finished the wing (including installing all the rib cap strips etc.), and did not notice this mistake until I started building the second wing. My question is this: Will it be OK to simply build the other wing the same way? The only trouble I can imagine is a small amount of extra weight (I figure very nominal). Being new to this I wanted to appeal to someone who may know this model and whether their are any future problems that I can't anticipate. Thanks for any help you may offer, Pete[/size]

If you can not fix the first wing, by all means build the second too match the first, it should fly good, I finised one about a year ago and they are great flyers, they build light so I doubt if that .50 extra on the wing sheeting will matter

It won't make any difference at all, just build the second wing the same way.

If the two wings match....that's all that counts - after all it IS a Cub :)
