Spending lots of money for molded planes is no assurance that they are 
absolutely straight, flat or square.  In any manufactured item there are 
"production tolerances".  I have no idea what the tolerances or acceptable 
deviations are, or should be, for molded models, but I've certainly never 
seen any published by the manufacturers, who are so small they are unlikely 
to have a QC manual.  To be honest, I have no experience whatsoever with 
molded wings, but I have some experience with fiberglass fuselages which 
commonly have bends, twists or corkscrews built in - at no extra cost.

What you did with your Eclipse makes sense and yes, the "experts" do it as a 
matter of course.  I do wonder if the "wash-in" along the entire trailing 
edge isn't actually reflex on the airfoil that's supposed to be there?  
Comments from other Eclipse owners?
