Mighty Mini F4U

[tetraodontoxin]

I have been building like crazy, so far i have competed mini scout, tutor, ft-22, simple glider, MM F4U. all but the tutor and ft-22 are scratch built. i noticed on my F4U that the wings are cocked a but on the airframe, i didnt seam to catch it during the build. The wing leading edge is not perpendicular to the center line of the body. i glued the planes to card stock, used a straight edge to cut the template and the foamboard. any areas i should be aware of as well? ill be looking at the interface point between the wing and body. while i was doing a balance test, the plane would sit level and slowly raise the nose or tail, but i think this has to do with the wing not being straight.

No your wing is fine, I've had that happen before, and they still flew. Just take a look at the Nasa Oblique wing prototype.
