My main problem was with the wings. It was like the large tile-plates (this
piece) that made up the wings just did
not want to stick together. As I assembled the wings they also wanted to
take on a significant droop. If I tried to flatten the droop out, the wings
would basically disintegrate....

FYI, the model is of an aircraft whose wings had significant droop.
That may have been intentional.

I understand that the droop may by intentional or an inevitable result of
gravity on a structure that large & thin. However, the issues I mentioned with
the 6x16 tiles futher down in the post cannot, in my opinion, be intentional.
When the studs on the 6x16 tiles do not line up with the studs on a 2x16 plate
or a 1x16 technic beam, it is a qualtiy control problem or a design/mold problem
for that piece.
Like I said, Once I made the modifications I described, I was able to get the
model together and it is quite sturdy. And, yes the droop in the wings is
authentic to the original design.
Since this piece has been in production since 1998, I was wondering if anyone
else has observed this type of problem before, or is this just limited to the
tan 6x16 tiles from the Wright Flyer Set. I have yet to check the 6x16 tiles
from my sopwith cammel or red baron sets since they are still built up.
