My center section looks like it is warped or something. The vertcial webs on both sides of the fuselage are wavy and can be moved around by hand. They look like they were under preload or something when drilled.
This is confusing because I don't remember ever noticing this. The only thing I've done recently is lift the tail to install the HS but I can't imagine that causing this kind of distortion. I think when I attach the caps to each of these it will pull them in place but what is going on? This is in my garage which has been relatively constant at, say, 55 degrees so I don't think this is thermal expansion. Has anyone else seen this?
