The root edges of the wings have to be sanded at a 25 degree angle for the proper dihedral.
Use a sanding block for a straighter line.
Sand an opposite "mirror" image angle on the left and right wing root edges.
The wings are glued on the wing line, with the rear edge 1 3/8" from the rear of the main tube.
The front leading edge will probably butt up against the bottom of the intake. If it is too tight, glue the wings slightly below the wing line.
Here's the model view from the rear.
With the model resting on the lower stab, the outside edges of wing tips should be touching the table, or very close to it.
If your wings don't line up like this, don't worry. It won't affect the flight stability.
(Here the engine mount is slid far up inside the main body tube. It's not glued in place and the Kevlar line is hanging out the back. This picture is from an earlier prototype build, where the intakes weren't glued on yet.)
