I met a local pilot at the airport today, Joe, who disassembled and reassembled his MXL. It's not the first time he's done this. However, mysteriously, this time a couple of rear flying wires are completely slack. The airplane does not look crooked, so he is unable to figure out what's wrong. I proposed to ask on the Internet.
Please see the attached picture.
The cables going from the front anchor (A) to _both_ leading edge (C) and rear edge (D) are taut. Only the cable between the rear lower anchor (B) and rear edge (D) is slack. The wires are exactly symmetric between left and right (two wires are slack on left and right).
Is this something of a well-known assembly mistake, and if yes, what is it?
