Piedmont Temptation construction questions

[Derek Lieber]

Lee,
Thanks for the additional info.
I don't need the templates anymore. I already made my own.
So far I'm pleased with the quality of the fuse and wings.
My only complaint would be the fit of the wing tube inside
the wing sockets - very very tight. Any ideas how to relieve
the fit to make assembly/disassembly easier?
