Default RE: Pay It Forward Aircruiser 60 Build

I am going to make some changes to the build sequence as I go along based on research I have done here on RCU and elsewhere. For example, instead of building the left and right wing panels independently and then joining them, I am going to build the right panel, prop it up at the proper dihedral angle and then build the left panel connected to it. A full description of the technique is described by Pete Young at http://www.charlesriverrc.org/articl...less_wings.htm. If it works for polyhedral glider wings, I don't see why it wouldn't work for a simple dihedral. Hopefully this will make for a straighter, stronger wing with a very strong joint between panels.
