G'day

OK Red and John you have talked me into it. I will remove the centre ribs and re-set them to half the angle and make up some new dihedral braces. That could be the hard part as there is no decent ply in town at the moment. I may have to use 1/4 ply.

I was being lazy because I built the wing halves to the original spec and then decided to put the ailerons in. I have cut out both "barn doors" and one is complete. I need to get a second sheet of 3/8 (10mm) balsa to do the second one today then I will have the fun of resetting the centre ribs and cutting the angle.

All this was inspired by flying my ARF Kadet Senior with its new Enya 53 earlier in the week. It flew so well I decided to make up the spare wing kit I had but I kept changing my mind on just what I was going to do.
