I modified the design to give it a full wing dihedral*. I sliced the wing on the centre line from each side.....so essentially pulling it out, it meant the two tags at the fwd and aft of the wing had to be cut so it wasn’t pushing the fuselage out too far. And made two wedges from the box the plane came in to hold it before taping up.
I do intend to try cutting a wedge from the center of the spare wing to bring the center together to see if this is any easier
I’ve also got rid of the flaps on the wing.....If I find I need to tweak the twist I’ll just bend one sideof the wing a tiny bit at the tip....less needed at the tip as the moment (leverage) is greater on the wing tip
