They must not nest then. It's been a long time since I built mine, and that area is one of many in the plans that require careful study, and sometimes, wild extrapolation. Come to think of it, one of the things I'll do differently next time is butt the main spars up against each other to eliminate the gap between the spars, and the only way that could happen is if they are both the same width. A bushing is then used through the 3/8" bolt locations (and epoxied into the wood), so you only have one 3/8" joint per pair of WAFS, rather than two, and it's quicker to disassemble, and less of a hole is needed on top of the wing. I didn't invent this...I read it in one of the old newsletters... Mark Langford, Harvest, AL ML at N56ML.com www.N56ML.com
