Mine did the same thing.  I couldn't figure out why it changed as it cured.

It was easy to weight it back to 1.4 degrees and do the upper surface.

 Advice Needed

        I just want to check something, before I get it wrong. Im setting

 up the Flaps for the second skin lay-up, Top surface. When I did the first

 surface, Bottom skin, I set the washout to 1.4o as described in the

 manual, as I have a digital level it makes this operation easy. Now setting

 up the Flaps for the top skin, Im checking the washout again, as before; I

 find there is a large variation. My level is reading 2.2o, so my question

 is, Should I still set this up for the washout as 1.4o?  My own answer is

 it should be set to 1.4o. But I would like some advice from those who have

 been here before. Also any other tips.



 Thank You.

As I recall, I too had that problem.  I used lots of double sided tape to hold the bottom side tight in the foam blocks. I really think they will work even if you get them off a little. Try  your hardest to get them right and keep building.



Have fun.

Just make sure when using the Smart level that you are not as dumb as me. 

I couldn't figure out why the degrees of travel had changed on my 

tailplane till I finally realised that I had hit the button and changed 

the scale from degrees to percentage slope.
