Built the WashBoard

This will not only let me construct the wings with washout built in, but will also let me accurately set the dihedral angle. I made it a bit bigger than necessary for this bird so it can accommodate larger wing sections in the future. Each side measures 10" x 48" and can be unfolded (completely flat if necessary) to accommodate two wing sections. It was fabricated from two 1" x 10" x 48" pieces of pine, a continuous hinge cut to 10", four 1/2" corner brackets, Two 1/4-20 x 8" carriage bolts, six 1/4-20 nuts and of course the pin-board and assorted wood screws. Construction is simple and straightforward enough that anyone should be able to copy the design from the photos.
