Thanks for your thoughts, Martin

Yes, the tank (version of 4/96) has been expanded with fuel for 5 weeks, and
the the aileron link rubs only at the ends, but it looks obvious that when
filled with fuel, it will bulge out and interfere even more.  Presumeably the
spacers will help.  The cockpit module bulkheads are blocked up to be 12.7"
apart per the manual.  Fig. 3 in the manual does show a large gap (as I have)
where the temp. packing and layup are to be inserted.
