    Default rigging angles

    All,
    I did not build the wings of my Mark IV Speedster myself (bought the whole lot as a project) and came only this week to rigging the plane (after a year building).
    I noticed before that the former owner placed the left wing strut attach brackets for whatever reason somehow more aft than the right wing ones (about 1/2")...They are perpendicular on the wing, though.

    When rigging we managed to get the dehidral for both wings right, however.
    But, when folding the wings for the first time - just to see it work ;-))) it appears that the left wingtip is more than 3" higher than the right one.
    Curious, because the angle 'fuselage attachpoint - wing/fuselage atttachpoint - strut attach bracket' is not changed by ffolding, is it?
    Anyone got a clue?
