I don't think it's your imagination. I noticed it as well. It's in some still pics too, I believe.<br />
<br />
To me it appears that the creases are more or less above the strut attachment points on both wings. This leads me to believe that the outboard sections of the wings are flexing upwards just a bit under the flight load. At the strut attachment point the wings would tend to be more rigid than outboard of that location.<br />
<br />
Of course it may be like that on the ground too. It's obviously hard to tell…

Of course it may be like that on the ground too. It's obviously hard to tell from just looking at a video or pictures. I did notice it some time ago, however, so it's interesting that you did as well.<br />

I noticed this also, I was concerned and would like to hear more on these wrinkles before I order a CH750 kit.
