Keith Berriman Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Appreciate a bit late but ready to start on my wings How much dihedral is there in the kits set up ?? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low pass Pete Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 Cannot recall but think that I just used the wing brace as guide. Away at the moment but will lookup my plan. Incidently I have upgraded to a nice new OS46. Cracking engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Carlton Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) The dihedral is fixed by the brace, so the way the wing is built, you can't really get it wrong as the centre section locks itself together and you just build the outer wings onto that "in the hand" as it were.

Possibly one of the easiest builds around. Great all round model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 My favourite 'hack' (a description which does it a dis-service). I think the updated wingtips are ugly - and the canopy has always been, so I did some mods... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff S Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 It is indeed a very attractive rendering of a model I passed my A on a good few years back. I built 2, both with foam wings, and they both met their end eventually. I do like the improved canopy shape. Is the undercarriage standard? I seem to remember mine had single wire legs that fitted in vertical grooves - yours looks better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Thanks John & Geoff ? If I'd planned it properly, I could have lined up the red flashes on the wing root and fus. a bit better ? This is my 3rd - the first 2 had foam wings and were quieter! The U/c was originally bought for another model, but it suits the Funfly so well that it's served on all three. It's starting to de-laminate now, but I can't find a matching replacement anywhere, so I will probably end up doing a DIY job using the original as a form.
