The above diogram depicts a Jenny's wing dihedral being checked.This is the action that I want to portray happening to the Canuck in my latest diorama.
Although this would probabily be one of the last things done before flight here again I will use a little licence and show it being done while the airplane is still uncovered.
I imagine that somewhere along the line this could have happened to the airplane while still in this condition.I know that when we built the Travelair, the airplane was completely built up as a skeleton and everything adjusted and checked, and then broken down again in order to cover all of the surfaces with fabric.
Having the wings supported on the sawhorses gives the whole thing more stability and gives me a good way to anchor everything to the hangar floor however it does take away somewhat from the overall beauty of the wings.
