Brief Description:  Wing Sweep, Alignment and Incidence Angle...

Recommendation - if you are going to be pulling on the wings to get an acceptable sweep, check all the wheels to keep the fuse from turning...

A managed to find a relative sweet spot where the wings have something less than 1/2 " aft sweep, and the measured distance from the wing tips to the center point of the VS is within 1/8", and I have sufficient rear spar fastener edge distance exceeding 5/8".

To get the required rear spar fastener edge distance for the left wing, I had to drop aft end of the wing about 1/8". To ensure the incidence angle is the same for both wings, had to drop the right wing as well.
