Yep, I wondered if it would have a noticeable effect (knocking the struts out of vertical alignment), but is was so minor no one ever saw a problem. I guesstimate the wing as roughly 1/32 inch too narrow, so this fix worked a charm, and is what I'll do to all the others I build.

Did you have problems with the landing gear?

Nope, they fit good also. If I recall correctly, the struts for the landing gear mount to the fuselage, not the wing, so they were not affected.

No, it wasn't a lower wing issue. Friends and reviewers posted that the "wing" that houses the axle was not wide enough.

I don't recall such a problem on mine. I'll check the next kit (when I receive one), and see what's what.
