Kinda drastic? Did you ask nico caillou about it? Usually he’s pretty responsive about products...

Star drive bolts might have been the better choice on the fuse connection....the socket screw heads are large....

Yup, mine are white also. Im thinking its the AVS ... I coated the wings with glazing filler and sanded them off. Amazing the flaws you find when leveling off new wings....we'll see if it changes its tune....
Are you saying you filled in the AVS.?
That would make them xlXLW wings.

That’s all the filler you weighed it down with.

...says the Oz Zeeko rep....
Is this the Zeeko culture...dont have an answer - go after the consumer?
so much hostility toward technical discussions in the 'spitfire club'
Anyhow the AVS looks identical to a G10 peel ply liner...like this....

I got it . . . and had a chuckle
I wanted to get a set of the XXLW wings but was waiting for the white version.
Have been riding the black XLW set for the past 7 or 8 months and have never gone back to try a normal setup as I really love the carving and jumping.
