Falcon III
 
Im starting to build a falcon III kit, and been thinking in removing diehdral, but I can not figure out how to fit the diehdral braces on the wing. Will I need to make new braces?, how much diehdral will you recommend to make the plane a bit more aerobatic but still stable?.
Thank you for your counsel

Make the wing flat. Cut new braces from your scrap box.

first trouble, the stabilizer ribs rear end is not at 90 deg. so they almost dont make contact with TE.
Any suggestions?

I got it , one of the instructions advices to shape the TE flush with stab stock (angled control surface), after that youre supposed to stand the TE on this side only that instructions dont tell you that, I already glued it.
Sorry for the double post, Ill do a building thread from here

Wing halves glued and ready to join, Ill go with 0 diehdral, had to make a 1/8 diedral brace, completely horizontal, I have never built no diehdral planes so Ill see how this one behaves.

pics tomorrow
