Setting the Dihedral

Today students began the first step of creating the extra-stable, multihedral wing. Starting at the right wingtip, and using a stringer as a "jack", this step is the first of the "most difficult" part of the construction. Timing is a bit critical, to ensure all of the pieces are cut prior to the first bit of gluing taking place. As well, the fuseagle half was finished. We'll wait until the wing is complete before we glue the fuselage halves together.
