Spent all morning today trying to set my wings into 1.5° dihedral. And of course was trying to make everything perfect, and of course nothing was working for me. I was using pretty good $400 construction laser from work. Every time I think I got it just right, strut showing me different links within 3 mm difference. Wondering if I should throw away 21st-century technology and go back to water tube? Waterline will not lie to me and it is very liable for last thousand years or so.

I was right. Lift strut needs to get a little bit shorter. Drag strut will need to get longer and there is just enough room for conversion into adjustable fittings. But first I need to find a way to set everything 100% perfect.
