Use one of the wing ribs and bend the wing curve 

so that it matches. 

 

 

 

You can bend the 

wing to match the rib, but don’t 

glue it yet. 

 

 

 

 

Dihedral Angle 

Use the 4 inch dihedral gauge to prop up one 

wing tip at the edge of your bench. 

 

Put a rib under the wing to support it as you sand 

the curved wing tip so that it is parallel with the 

bench. 

 

Use a sanding block with coarse paper and take 

your time. 

 

Make sure that the sanding block touches the 

entire edge of the wing tip. 

 

Do this for both wing tips. Make sure you have a 

right and a left.
