At last time to put the wings together and set the dihedral. Cutting the wing ribs to accept the plywood braces. I did say it was a Ben Buckle kit it is in fact a David Boddington one,
Its really nice to see you working in - real time - without relying overly on editing - Blue Peter style - "here's one I made erlier" - off csmera. Its very refreshing watching your build process.
Well done. I think the most effective way to set the dihedral is to have the inner most rib at the proper angle. It is always good to have a measurement or block on the outside of the wing but its critical to place the block at the correct location as no not have a twist in the wing. I suppose the plans would call for the proper location for the block. Looking forward to more.
The angle of the root rib in this case is set a 2°. The "wing tip" block location is not specified in this case (20mm)I chose to place it at the trailing edge.

Thanks I'll try to keep to that style.
Mark great job on this wing. Seems pretty straightforward for the Master Builder. Jeff in LA USA
Thanks 👍

Can you show how you set the wing incidence please?
Will try to demonstrate a little more clearly with the lower wings
