Tomorrow, I hope to start rigging the wings of my kit but I can't understand 
how the method described in the manual achieves the required results.

In the overview of the relevant chapter (27) it says:
<quote>Take care when setting the angle of incidence, especially that both 
wings are set exactly the same. Any small angular difference between them 
will result in an aircraft that always wants to roll one way, requiring a 
roll trim tab permanently attached to one of the ailerons.

In step 2 of the same chapter it says:

<quote>Set the wings up so the spars are within the fuselage but not quite 
engaged in the spar sockets.

It then goes on to say that the wings must be arranged very precisely with 
the waterline of the fuselage. I can't understand how, if the wings are not 
engaged in the spar sockets, this precision can be achieved.

I'm clearly missing something important here so advice about this will be 
gratefully received!
