Some time has passed since last post, though this doesn't mean there has been some progress on the wing construcion; it's only I 've had litte time to update the thread...!

Once the right and left wings basic structures were completed, it was time to glue the wings. Proper dihedral according to the plan is assured by placing the wings in a true flat surface (I used my marble dining table), and by placing a properly sized balsa wedge at the end of one of the wings. I used 30 min epoxy and I ended with a good joint.

Next step is to add the center balsa reinforcement WC2, at the front and also aft of the main wing spars. A balsa block was provided in the kit, so I used this for both wedges, after cutting the right angles on each one and sanding for a proper fit to the spars. This step also needs the temporary removal of the portion of the W1 ribs that were initially joined, that lies ahead of the wing spar. This can be seen on the pictures.
