Hope your wing box fits snugly. If it doesn't, it could be problematic.
Sorry to be late with the caveat, but I've built both the Stratus Gale and its smaller sibling the Cirrus Breeze, and both had enough play in the box that the wingtips could rock slightly up and down. Didn't think much of it till I maidened them and they would go into a death spiral.
If you find yourself with the same situation, one way to get rid of the slop is to coat the fuse with thick CA and sand it down till it fits snugly but can still slide smoothly.
