I had a similar problem in an early version of my Navy patrol bomber,
and fixed it when I realized that my wings were too thin. I ended up
making the wings 3 bricks thick, and the scale was much more accurate.
Now your wings won't be nearly that thick, since it's a smaller plane,
but look closely at the real thing and see if that might be part of
the problem. Thicker wings means you can add more of an airfoil shape
(by layering plates), which is nice.
