Corvair Wade, Based on my experience, do NOT cut all the way back to the co-ordinates shown in the plans. I would recommend leaving a minimum of 1/2 inch extra, probably more, on your initial cut. Support your wing in some fashion, and gradually mark and trim as you approach spar bolt alignment. Use the fuselage side as a marker guide, mark, slide the wing out, trim and do it again as you sneak up on the final position. If I recall correctly, the final gap needs to be about 4mm for the rubber root moulding to fit well. Taper ground 5/16" pins or hardware grade bolt shanks are ideal to help align the spar bolt holes as you get close. It took me about three or four hours to trim each wing skin. Also, as part of this process, you need to establish the rear spar final position vertically and laterally. Zenith wants a minimum of 12mm edge distance (preferrably more) on the rear spar bolt. Use a smaller bolt when drilling the first hole, so you still have room to tweak it. Ideally, the centerline of the flap hinge pin will align with the center of the flap actuator shaft, though "close" is OK, as long as both sides are identically positioned relative to the fuselage. On a separate note, I couldn't be more satisfied with my W.W. Corvair. The components that William produces are first class in both design and manufacture, and will allow you to produce a quality powerplant that performs exceptionally in the 601 / XL. I'm still in early Phase one testing, and have no hard performance numbers yet, but this plane is all I hoped for, and more. Lynn Dingfelder 601 / XL W.W.
