Now I have the wing tip up the right amount, The plans show a but joint at the wing break, but I added a lap joint in the spar and some gussets at the leading and trailing edges for reinforcement. The inboard rib is angled in, 1/8 inch according to the plans to get the downward angle of the inner wing panels, I traced the angle of the front view drawing and made a guage, |

The plans say to prop up the wing tip 1-1/2 inches to get the gull wing effect. Glad that I checked before I took it of the board, Whoever drew it measured up from level in the front view, It is, indeed, 1-1/2 inches from level, but to get that dihedral from board level you have to prop up the wing tip to 3-3/4 inches. |

Easy Built wood is light, in some areas too light. The 1/16 inch square stock was too fragile for the wing spars so I used some Guillow's wood for the spar. |

Dealing with Easybuilt kits. The wings just glue onto the side of the fuselage so I added som more gluing surface. I am also moving the rear peg forward one bay to get balancing with less ballast. More than makes up for the shorter motor. |

Busy building board. The Heinkel is for a contest in May, the Blacksheep Squadron "Easybuilt, Beat Your Span" contest. The timing doesn't start until your model has flown the number of seconds equal to it's wingspan in inches. |
