It's good you recognized it early on.  I went to a lot of trouble to make 
everything perfect, but my plane still required fixed trim tabs on the 
ailerons and rudder to make it fly straight (probably due mostly to 
propwash).  Most folks who've seen my plane will testify that my standards 
got pretty low toward the end, but I realized I could either build forever 
or go flying, and I chose to start flying it.  I'm not talking about making 
crappy glue joints and that sort of thing, but I spent a lot of time trying 
to think of everything, and now that it's finished and I can see how it all 
works together, I find I was operating with too little information.  The 
next one will be better, and will be built much faster...
