Former for the cowling, rear end. The 'wedge' is just temporary to ensure the former is built at the correct angle on my building board. |

The new dihedral, and an extra finished wing tip! |

The top dihedral (minus inter-plane struts) as now set for a more scale appearance. Hope the flying characteristics aren't negatively affected. |

Here's how the dihedral is set in place now that we can't use the laser cut holes. 1/8'' balsa is used to hold the tubes at the correct level. Should be strong enough I think (stronger that the original holes, I would think). |

Showing the Al tubes which now have to be modified to seat higher on the outer rib, setting the top wing dihedral. |
