C'mon, chicken. I understand the thickness/taper problems and mostly was just wondering if the dihedral was only from taper (that is, the centerline of the root and tip ribs were level) or if the wing was built upside down with the top surfaces flat. From what I see and have heard, the flat top would be pretty good or maybe a touch too much dihedral and the taper only would not be enough. Many pattern planes are like this, but they are mid-wing designs and don't need any dihedral to yaw properly. Ah well, I will just go with what looks about right (and I will see what the Midwest plans say) and see what happens.

Since the Cap is a low wing design, for a two piece wing would you go with a tube joiner and bolt the joined wing to the fuse or keep the tube in the fuse and slide a wing panel on from each side (as is typical on most 2M pattern ships right now)? I am leaning towards joining the wing, then bolting it on with 4 bolts myself, but that is with no experience on a plane this size so far. Which is the lighter set up? Dick, can you comment on this as well?
