Having said that, as long as the flaps/wings are symmetrical during flight I wouldn't worry about a slight misalignment. But that's me, I gave up on perfection while building my 6A and decided to settle for the best I could do. As an aside, lifting loads will also remove all the slack from the ailerons and possibly cause a slight misalignment with the wing tip trailing edge. I hope this helps.
