What happened was:
Its time to put the leading edges on, and it looks easier if the top sheeting goes on first, then I can sand to fit the LE. This meant putting the newly sized servo connector plug with loom in place, but to do this means having the fuselge ready.
I want the fuse covered prior to fixing the wing sockets just to give a nice finish where the socket exits the fuselage, so this means covering the fuz.
To get the fuz finished to the point of covering meant fitting the motor to get the shape from the prop spinner to the fuz correct.
Oh and making the wiring looms too.
Talk about going down a rabbit hiole, but all jobs that need doing.

The wing along with the mainspar assembly were assembled along with the correct dihedral, and glued with expanding Gorilla glue. This glue is just great for foam, as it expands to fit and really gets into the foam for a secure joint. Wires for the aileron servos were also run as the spar went in.
What you can't see is a digital level to match the dihedral on each side.
When the mainspar was dry, I added the 2 sub spars using the same method, assembling and securing in position whilst the glue dried.
The final pic above shows the flap servo box, lined with 1/16 balsa, and the spars, rough sanded.
