Measuring Dihedral for Right Wing

Today I measured and marked the cuts needed for the right wing's dihedral.  I thought it would be good to do this before doing any work on the left wing spar so I don't accidentally ruin both wing spars if I make a mistake.

I like these shots.  For the first time I can start to visualize an airplane wing.



I made a paper template to help me measure the cuts for each piece.  I can just align the part on this template and mark where I need to cut.  It would be reverse for the left wing.





Here are the marked up parts ready to cut.  I also marked the 2" cut I need to make in the spar caps for the wing attachment brackets.
