ok guys the dihedral is measured in degree's and minutes so the measurement is 3 degree's 30 minutes which works out at 3 1/2 degrees  :lol:  :lol:

thanks to GEEW from www.scalesoaring.co.uk for explaining it  :clap:  :clap:

hey a big thanks to william and kate for today the day off i got the wing spars made and got the ribs all sorted

there's 27 ribs and the spar is made out of 1/8 spruce ,there is 3mm of wash out at the start of the aileron and 9mm at the tip

only thing that's bothering me at the moment is the dihedral

is that 3 degree's or is it 3" at the tip  #-o

looks like a good day  
i was scoring brownie points  :lol: so i'll be able to get away this weekend  :clap:

i have the big cub fixed after an unexpected gust of wing through it over when landing and i just broke the wing tip so i was lucky  :clap:

ok Sam a few more pictures of the K13  
it's finally all sheeted now
i recieved a box of plywood and spruce from the balsa cabin at the end of last week so i'll be ready soon to start the wings

i've done the inside of the fuselage with fibre glass resin to add a bit of strenght
the sheeting is 1/16 balsa and i'm scared when the model is finished of putting my fingers through the bottom of the fuselage  :!:
