That was a good spot. I'm not sure how many folks would have caught that error. Is the center section spar installed in the fuselage already? Have the spars run through a planer and remove the ply, check the woodwork and rebuild. If you have "grave concerns" about the airplane you may never really be comfortable with it. Getting a second or third opinion after a close inspection may change your mind or you may want to spend your time on a project more to your liking. Larry Flesner
