From the PT-60 Manual.

The name of the "curve" is Washout.

I think it's not intended to have the curve, but the whole wing to be strainght and only the wing tip of the TE to be at a higher position.

Hi people. Here are some photos of the wing.

I started to cover it. Done just the bottom side of the half wing.

The top covering will be white with some home made decals. Maybe stars or something like.
As I don't have the strip machine, anyone knows a great way to cut stripes from monokote?

In the last photo the small angle suggested by the manual at the tip of the LE.
As you can see, the place for the aileron has a curve. I still don't know how to handle this before installing the aileron there.

Ill try to explain each photo. I have more than 100 high quality images of the building until now. I've reduced the imagez to 800x600 size to fit better.
I will try to don't overload the post with images, lol.

I will accept any advice in any part of the construction, covering, finishing, etc.

I am a beginner, don't forget ...Continue Reading
