I mean watch out if you are like me, more eager to build than to read instructions carefully (understandable after waiting the Avionics kit for months
). After checking and rechecking that I was installing the right connectors on both wings and fuselage, I "plugged" the wings back. Right wing no problem, the connectors self aligned and the wing went right in. Left wing, no way to get it in completely, there was still 1/4 inch left to go and no way to go further. Looking at the connectors, although the guiding pins were engaged, it looked like the casings were colliding. After more checks, it appeared that the wing connector was upside down! Easy fix, unscrew and rotate connector 180 deg... Tried to put the blame on VANS... but page 31A-05 figure 3 warns: Caution: Orient connectors as shown.
My lame excuse: I was working with the wing upside down...
