Wing root problems

M. Brindos

I can't speculate on the cause of this problem, but with careful planning you can always find a solution. 

For example, if the wing is thinner than the wing root you can add spars if it's early enough in the build. You can even do it later in the build process if you don't mind fixing it.

 

I agree the spar seems to be a better fix.  Shims between the top and bottom of wings along leading and trailing edges misshapes the airfoil.  Maybe not so bad on older aircraft, but jets always seem to have pretty sharp leading edges, and trailing edge should be sharp on anything.

I'm not sure what would cause the problem, maybe the quality of plastic causes a slight droop in the airfoil profile, hence it doesn't match the root section of the fuselage?

That scenario is easier to fix than if it were the opposite - just shim up the space between upper and lower wings to match the root?
