Scruffmeister Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've just joined the wings on my Wot4 Mk3 - and something is puzzling me...!! Have I messed this one up badly, is it normal!? My building board it perfectly flat. When I lay the wings inverted on the board, the entire trailing edge both wings tip-to-root lies flat on the board as shown and there is no visible gap under the entire length of the wing: However, when I put the wing upright and put a weight on one tip, the other tip clearly rises. Is this dihedral expected in a Wot4 Mk3 as I wasn't expecting it based on how carefully I laid up the wing inverted for gluing! Cheers.

Simon Ward 2 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hi Scruffmeister, just checked my Wot 4 Mk3 wing and it's perfectly flat on the top surface. The wing panels do taper, root to tip, which is giving you this effect. Here's mine, sorry for the wonky pic. Simon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Tothill Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hi Scruffmeister, From memory that is exactly what mine was like too. It gives you a little bit of dihedral. Don't worry! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Ward 2 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hello KingKade, The covering is Profilm's Chrome Red, which I happened to come across in Steve Webb's models one afternoon. Looks great when the sun's out!! Here's a pic: I try and get a bit of cycling in when I get the chance, the age old problem of too many hobbies and not enough free time! Simon.
