Hi Cleve,
I too ended up with a slightly wavy gap up tp 3/16 wide in places.
Using a heat gun (paint stripper type) very carefully and sliding the wing
out a few inches to protect the fuse, I found it relatively easy to reduce
the gap to a very even 1/8". I heated about 4-6" at a time, sliding the wing
in each time to check.
Now that the gap has been sealed with white silicone sealer (having waxed
the fuselage well!) I have difficulty convincing folk that the wings DO come
off!!
It took about an hour to re-shape each fairing and was well worth the time
and effort. GO FOR IT!
You must be getting close to that big day?
Best of luck,
Ron Jones.
