Brief Description:  Fit wings to fuselage 2nd of 4 times-3

I see why its a nerve wracking job to fit the sweep and incidence. There's not a lot of room for error on the final fit, after I trimmed about .200 off the F605 forward fuselage bar. It continued to stop the wing from inserting further into the fuselage to swing the wing tip aft. My goal is to have all for plumb bobs on the same line. Right wing rear spar was touching the spacer in the fuselage that spreads the two attach bars apart 1/4 inch to accept the rear spar between them. I unbolted the spacer, removed it and sanded the contact side down to 1/16 thickness from the bolt hole, per Vans instructions. Edge distance is irrelevent on a spacer. Reinstalled it and between that and the continued filing of the end of the fuselage bar that kept touching the nearby wing rib flange, I reinserted the wing and now have only 1/4 inch forward sweep on this right wing. I can do this once more and it will be plumb. Then, on to the problem left wing.
