Default RE: MY KADET LT-40 BUILD

PHOTOS 1 & 2: The almost completed wing. Both wing tips trimmed and rough-sanded. Next I checked the fit of the two wing panels to each other. – WITHOUT GLUE. Lite-ply dihedral tip gauge (DTG) pinned to the underside of the last rib W5 (nearest the wing tip) in the left wing panel. Right wing panel is flat to the surface with the left wing panel held up with DTG at 3 3/4" dihedral angle. Leading and trailing edges are perfectly aligned with each other and there are no twists between the panels. There are absolutely no gaps between the two W1 root ribs and only the tiniest of a gap underneath the wing at the two W1 root ribs (only due to the fact that one of the sheetings could have been moved over about another 1/16th of an inch (but that is no problem, tiny bit of filling will take care of that).

PHOTOS 3 & 4: Aileron servo cutouts in W1 ribs complete as instructed.
PHOTO 5: Two ply main dihedral braces (MADB joiners) marked with a centerline and ready to go.

Just waiting for Ken to join his wing first to see how well it goes for him.
