Subject: Different wing washout?

Hi Mike
 
Thanks for doing the work, I hope that inspires others to look at their wings.  Weird about the ailerons being out in the center and not the LE and TE.  What it sounds like is that the wing skins were warped probably in storage or in transit since all wings should stay the same if the tooling isn't messed around with.  So if it was pulling away from the fixture in the factory tooling, it probably just wasn't noticed.  But Tim is right, the relative flexibility of the skins would be locked up rigidly once the top and bottom were bonded together, so the different angles could very easily have been from the skin not resting properly in the fixture.
 
Sorry for not emailing earlier, I was out of town.
