A little problem

I did lots of work on the Dimona today, I got the wheel pants installed, the servos and receiver installed and set up.  I found a spinner and folding prop that would work, the spinner is not quite the right size, but I have a bigger one on order.  I ran the motor and checked the current draw, it's a little lower than I wanted, so I have new blades for the folding prop on the way.
I finally figured out a tail wheel mount and got that installed, but  getting it bent the way I wanted turned into quite a challenge.  Since I was almost done with the fuselage, I started working on the wings and right away I discovered a problem.  The carbon fiber rod the wing slides onto would not go into the left wing.  I could see the tube it slides into was twisted and looked poorly made.  After one attempt to glue it, I gave up for the night.
