Default RE: My next project

Thanks for all the advice again guys. While I am thinking that what I have might fly, and well, the basic idea has great potential, so I am thinking that a harsh revision may be in store. Before I start rolling again, 1)what do you think about a polyhedral wing in comparison to dihedral? 2)What do you think of a plane this big without ailerons? 3)How hard do you think it would be to build an undercambered wing on a building board without a jig, or should I bite the bullet and just build a jig? I've never used a wing jig before, so I don't know much about them. And while I'm taking suggestions, 4)what do you think about rib construction: Balsa sheet, Built up balsa rib (which I've never done before, and would really like to se some pics and oppinions), or foam ribs? I know, lots of questions, lots of possibilities, and thanks again.
