Tower 40 Dihedral
 

I'm joining my wing halves together. However, the instruction manual states that the wings should have 5 1/4'' +/- 1/4 ''of dihedral. I only have 4 inches. Will this adversally affect flight? Less means more agile, but is this acceptable? Will it casue STRUCTUTAL trouble?

Thanks!

No, my Tower Trainer .40 Mk II ARF turned out the same way. It flew great as a trainer and was more nimble than expected at aerobatics. Four inches of dihedral will be plenty.

Thanks much. I'm going to glue her.

Also, can I use 6 min epoxy instead of CA for the aileron hinges?

RE: Tower 40 Dihedral
 

NO CA hinges have to be assembled with thin CA. You can buy epoxy hinges and install them but epoxy is not the way to go with CA hinges.

"CA" stants for? Can I just use super glue?

RE: Tower 40 Dihedral
 

CA= cyanoacrylate, Super Glue is a brand name of CA.
IF your super glue is thin it can be used. (most are) It has to be thin to wick into the hinge (about the consistancy of water)

I see. I see. Thanks. Man, that servo was tough to get into the wing. The covering on this plane is perfect. It's beautiful.

Thanks again.
