Thanks all.
The unfortunate negativity aside, there is a kernel of a point. Having a good reference plane to work from is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for building straight airplanes. Dan notes some of them, forcing parts into place, glue shrinkage, covering shrinkage, etc. It's really an art.
For what it is worth, a sheeted foam wing is probably the most stable and reliable way to make a wing that is straight and stays that way. A rigid table that will stay within .010-.015 under the 200 lb loads required to weight it down is a great place to start with that, and pretty much mandatory for success.
Every kind of built-up construction is much more prone to shifting it's shape as the various components shrink or warp. some more than others.
