| sorry for all the questions but my english its not so good,
and the plans on this plane are complicated..i read all the instructions but i didnt undestand some terms... |

| When leading edge is cut, bevel as shown in Fig.3. Glue the 3 center pieces together level. In fig.5 cut trailing edge. Keep edges pinned level as shown in fig.2. Cement all ribs in place. Find on the plans the correct dihedral for free-flite. Cut 2 blocks for that size, unpin outer wing panels and slip blocks under tips as shown in fig.4. Cement those cuts on leading and trailing edges together and when dry, add the spars. If glued and dried well, the edges will hold just fine. Good luck! |

| The dihedral is shown on the wing build portion of plan. It is at the bottom and is shown leading edge on. There are 3 choices, free-flite, scale, or u-control. |

| poppy the blocks under the leading edge are 1/16 sq balsa? |

| Probably more like 1/4" sguare. Anyway, just enough to allow all rib front edges to attach flush with bottom of leading edge while trailing edge is flat on building surface. |
