Default RE: Help with ARF build....

Thanks for all the quick help!!

I discovered that although there is a slight alignment problem, most of it is due to compression of the balsa on one wing -half, in the center on the LE (probably from shipping). That being said, there is a small, but perceptible alignment skew of approx 1/32". I can live with that, I think.

I intend to call H9 and see if they have any recommendations, and hopefully they will be nice enough to send me a new wing.

I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION THOUGH!!

The manual calls for 3/8" dihedral, but to line things-up properly the way they are cut, I get over 1/2" of DH. How big a problem is THAT??

Should I just use as much epoxy as needed to achieve the prescribed DH?

um....medic!!
