Recently I made an E.P.P Piper and had seen in the forum that some people were having issues with setting the dihedral/landing gear. Here is a simple solution to this problem.
- Mark the position for the rods to go through.
- First have your two carbon or fiberglass 2mm (.080) rods and make sure they are the same length.
- Glue the wing on to the fuse and make sure its square.
- Now make a bracket in a T-shape this can be out of anything as long as it will hold the plane up. The height of the bracket will be how much dihedral you have.
- Put the bracket on the ground and then put the plane on top with the bracket in the middle of the wing like so.
- Put weights on the wing tips to hold them in the correct dihedral, push the rods through the fuse and then glue the rods to the wing.
- Line the fuse up until it looks (or is) straight and put glue on either side. Apply more glue if needed.
- Then lash your wheels on and Fly!
