Default Nexstar wing dihedral

I can't find a thread on this so here goes. How do I taked some dihedral from the wing to make it more of a sport flyer? I want to use 2 servos for ailerons and another for flaps. Will I still be able to use the steel rod. I have a Sig 4 Star 60 on order as soon as Sig gets some in but still want to make a sport flyer of my Nexstar.

Default RE: Nexstar wing dihedral

On a already built wing with plywood center doublers, people have been sawing the top side of the wing in two with a cut-off saw. They make a balsa filler to fill the gap left when flatening the wing. They wrap the center of the wing with fiberglass and epoxy. Recover.

Enjoy,

Jim
