MY perception is that the bushings are quite soft which seems strange to
me

First, the (black bolt)pins are undersize, (pip pins are spot on and the
bushes pretty good)
The tightness is cause by miss alignment of the bushes, both linear and
angular. Poor jigging in the factory using the black bolts.
Avoid using a reamer to line them up, if they are bad warm up the redux
and remove the miss aligned ones then rebond using better size pins for
jigging.
Just do this with the two wings, forget the bushes in the seat back,
they really are better with a loose fit because they increase loads on
the wings with G forces. THe glider wing is different isn't it, (not
seen one recently)

Mine is exactly the same. In fact, I remember before doing the weight
increase mod I put one of the brand new bushes on the brand new spar
pins and was surprised by how much it wobbled about. But when the spars
are rigged together (4 bushes in line) there's no play whatsoever when
the pin(s) are through them all. I think it is normal.
