Default RE: slight anhedral

i got all the framing done, the two pc wing worked out great. the only thing i changed, and i know the guy that had the thread on the 2 pc wing would give me a hard time, but, i increased the length of the wing tube to the first r3 rib. all i did was sharpen the end of the tube w/a knife and saw into the first r3 (or sr3?) to keep in alignment w/the socket, then i made a small reinforcing plate w/1/16" ply and glued it in. much more sturdy, at the original length it had too much flex. i'll be using some light weight equipment in it to make up the difference. i also had trouble w/the foam lamination process. i got a bend in the fuse (i loaded the concrete blocks slightly unevenly). i built a new fuse w/balsa stick w/several pcs of carbon fiber lengthwise and a plywood engine mount, then skinned w/1/16" balsa. weight is almost identical and it's seems real strong. i start to cover it tonight, i'll have some pic's in by the weekend. i am using a tradition edge 540 covering scheme, white/red and translucent red bottom.
