I thought this wing wasn't supposed to deform...

ill take pics when i have time
Just FYI my middle portion tape does not hold the 2 pieces together either. I have added more double sided 3m and yet it STILL doesn't sit flush(bows up). I try not to look at it but deep down its bothering me.

Also I would like to add this has been since day 1. And that was not a hot day!

Wing is completely secure obviously just the top and bottom pieces will not connect flush at the middle support beam (2 piece wing). I have thought about a stronger adhesive but i don't want to ruin the wing.

My holes are also not painted over.
