OK, I dug out the plans, and the outboard spar is 78" long rather than 79" (what was I thinking....), so it's actually 3.7 degrees rather than 3.8.
I killed another day of vacation working the stub to outboard wing gaps again. One thing I've learned in the last three weeks is that it feels like it takes a lot longer to get something done when you know there's a perfectly flyable airplane there and you're missing some killer sunsets.....if only the wings were attached to the thing! The big stuff is done, adding 13.5" of wing tip for an increase of 8% wing area, flap geometry improved from 23 degrees to 40 degrees, Hoerner tips, and many other little details addressed. Hopefully a new 7.5 gallon aux wing tank will commence construction tomorrow, but if it gets as long and drawn out as the wingtips did, it may have to wait another 900 hours to get completely finished. Today I relearned how valuable a heat gun is when it comes to altering fiberglass parts in a hurry. See http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/900hour/100629083m.jpg for the current state of affairs regarding the wings. More on all that later...
