Jenny XL

[Bighorn]

Is anybody building the Jenny XL? I’m done with the fuse and starting on the wings. I’m not sure how to use this piece? I assume it’s a dihedral gauge.

You are correct. Looks like there is a slot for the lower wing and another slot for the upper wing

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.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

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

Hello, No replies, but I’ll be at Flite fest looking for ideas. I’m a volunteer in the stem tent, Stop by if your coming to FF.

I wish I could but my arms would be killing me if I tried to fly that far I also managed to fit it in my car bit of squeeze. Thank god for bendy foam

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.
