Photo of Wing Center Section

Found a photo of what happened on my build trying to join wing to wing.

Notice I printed a "center section" gap filler joining strip:
Extracting the cross section of a wing-pict0252.jpg

Notice also that I really messed this whole thing up, my gap was about 1/4". This is the top, it was covered with a metal heat shield, effectively hiding the fix.

One of our members years ago, Jim Nunn, came up with a novel idea. In fact it was so good he posted on April 1. His version of a paper stretcher.

Too bad there isn't a paper stretcher, could of used one several times during my model builds!
