Tony, I can tell you from experience that both wings have to be the same.  I set
my up with the fuselage bottom only.  I now have both top and bottom on and
have 30 hours of flight time.  I have a left wing low.  I went back and measured
both wings and the right is 2.4 degrees and the left is 1.7 degrees.  

Not sure why!  I took pictures of the level showing 2.5 degrees on both wings!

I have lower the left wing flap about a degree or two, but at low speed the 
aircraft
left wing drops in a second.  I'm planning on resetting the front socket.


I'm worried about the holes that I drilled in the metal plate that is in the 
fuselage
and will cut out the fuselage skin and add a plate to the ole one then
set the wing up correctly.

Do it right the first, second, third time.  If it's right you will have no 
troubles
when you fly it.  Use a laser measure from the tail plane tubes to the wind
aileron end plate to set the sweep.
