Brief Description:  Wing attach to CS Spar

Eureka! Major understanding gap is now revealed! I had confused. The reference for dihedral is the WL 17.4 shown on the wing jigs, THE WING LEADING EDGE!!! I had confused this with the top spar, leading to bad maths and decisions. What a maroon!!! I should have marked this on the leading edge, and would have been on the outer wing jig if I had actually undersood what was going on. Rejigging everything with carpenters level and a few glue blox indicates the current setup is actually 1.5 degrees anhedral L wing, and 2.5 degrees right wing. I think we can do better. I'll have another go with the water level.

Rejigged everything with this new understanding, but didn't get anywhere as I have discovered I cannot get a reliable reading with my 1/4"ID water level. I bring both ends of the level together and the bloody thing shows 1/4" error from one side to the other.

Re-jig everthing again with correct reference and carpenters level and it all matches up with 1 degree anhedral both wings. I will not drill on this basis, but will get some larger bore tubing and try again.
