This kit includes\u00a0three dihedral braces: \u00a0the two that are shown on the plan, plus an extra one for the back side of the leading edge to increase the strength of the center joint.<\/p>\n
You can order the kit as shown on the plan or with barn door ailerons. \u00a0Here\u2019s a file I drew for the layout of the aileron wing. \u00a0(altwing<\/a>) \u00a0I have built the Small Wonder both ways, and it flies great either way. \u00a0However, there is one funny thing about the plan as designed. \u00a0It is a three channel airplane but I think the dihedral angle is a little bit low for optimal performance. \u00a0When I built mine I increased the dihedral a little bit in the three channel versions.<\/p>\n You can choose parts for 3.75 degrees per side as shown on the plan, or for 6 degrees per side for improved roll coupling with three channels. \u00a0The only difference is the angle of the dihedral braces and the dihedral gauge. \u00a0When you build the wing, 6 degrees per side translates to 2 5\/16\u2033 at each tip, or 4 5\/8\u2033 on one tip with the other wing flat on the table.\u00a0 But you can do it however you want.\u00a0 You don’t have to do it my way.<\/p>\n Please choose your options as listed below:<\/p>\n For comprehensive building instructions download the original RCM article from Outerzone<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This kit includes\u00a0three dihedral braces: \u00a0the two that are shown on the plan, plus an extra one for the back side of the leading edge to increase the strength of the center joint.
