FT responded to my question by saying I don’t use the piece to set top wing dihedral, only use it for the bottom wing.
In fact they will revise the piece on their next run of the kit.
The way it builds is you glue the interplane supports on the bottom of the top wing, this creates the wing camber but also makes it impossible to set dihedral with this piece.

Anyone have ideas on making the Jenny XL wings removable for travel?
Hi did you get any replies on the detachable wing problem I'm at the same point and about to start the head scratching phase.i think I might make a small fuselage piece and try different ways starting with beefing up where the bottom wings slide in to use as an anchor point I will let you know how I get on.if you get any ideas likewise please. thanks I'm in it never stops raining Britain

I’m having problems with the Jenny XL addendum and the Mini video. I’m an experienced builder of FT planes but seems like the addendum leaves a lot out. some parts don’t seem to fit and I’m scratching my head. Bighorn, how did you overcome these problems? How I contact someone from Flite Test.
Ditto! I have the same problem as you. The Mini Jenny build video falls short trying to be the build video for the XL Jenny, and the Jenny XL Supplement falls and isn't all that helpful as you noted. Not sure why FT deviated from their normal practice of providing a detailed build video. It must have been money problems. I hope FT corrects this and provide a dedicated Jenny XL build video.

I am having a lot of problems with the build too for similar reasons. I don't know how things are supposed to go together because the instructions are so poor and irrelevant to this airplane. At the moment unless someone can give me a detailed build guide for the XL version I am going to give up and never build another kit again instead sticking with bind and fly and ready to fly foam airplanes.

I was and there are so many gaps that I have more questions than answers especially considering how different the larger version is compared to the small three channel version. I built it thus far based on assumptions coming from the pictures that are shown. I think it goes without saying what assuming does. One example of the differences is that in the video fuselage formers with coffee stirrers are used to support a pushrod on the inside where as from what I can see in that document the two servos for the elevator and rudder are mounted to the back and connected using short pushrods which is a lot like what I see with ready to fly and bind and fly airplanes. I have not heard of anything wrong with that design and from my experience it works well.Were you using this?

It is my first kit build and I did get some questions I had before assembly answered by a friend of mine in the area who is very experienced at building kits and scratch building airplanes. These were more about propulsion because my ultimate plan is to use a 45 amp speed controller and the motor from a heavier foam airplane which looks like it is going to work and from what I have seen on the motor mount it fits perfectly. The servos I plan on using also seem to fit in the slots provided on the rear so those can be used too.

I did yesterday asking about better build instructions because I had some things I was stuck on. I have seen all the demo videos and heard the story behind this kit which I found very touching and it looks like once it is built and everything is adjusted correctly this should be a very relaxing airplane to fly.
