No kidding.  Coulda used ya well for advice on that stage of the
build, Graham.  I considered it major victory in just getting
everything lined up at the trailing edge, including my sheared,
semi-Hoerner wingtip shapes.  Remember those (erstwhile) warped
aileron cores, where you did the fix, but they partially snapped back
post-cure?  Sheesh.  What proverse angle of incidence, flap or
aileron, I wound up with I have no clue, nor had much choice.
