Default RE: Howard Engineering - Qwik Fli III – Build

I use a table saw to cut the dihedral in the wings because it makes a very smooth cut on the end of the wing. The wing is setup with the equivalent of 1” under each wing tip. Because the wing is close to an equal taper this setting makes the top of the wing almost flat. I glued the wing together with epoxy and held it together with masking tape. The front of the wing must have a small notch to clear the nose wheel. After completing the notch the wing was glassed with glass cloth and epoxy.
