Nice looking wing. Hope the increased dihedral helps the longer wing bank into turns. The rudder on a normal wing Sunbird doesn't have much authority.
 
Yeah, thanks Jon. Based on the feedback from others on this thread and elsewhere, it was a major consideration (well, that combined with me rarely having built anything straight off a plan ;) Stay tuned!
 
Events have conspired to keep me away from a maiden (Iknow.. I know...). Build time a plenty but can't seem to get the planets to align for air time! Anyway... here's a photo of the modified wing v's the 'stock' version. Stock = building a wing with ailerons for an eGlider version. No, I'm not Italian, port and starboard to help orientation when my old eyes start to pack it in squinting into the blue ;)
