Part 2.
Body: Position and sew on G, F, J, K. These use the same methods as for the wing.
Part 3. Reinforcement D: This is the 3" x
5/8" or 7.75 x 15 cm piece of Dacron.
Center it on the back of the body where
the spine and spreader cross. Don't sew it.
Tape it in place. Place the dihedral strap
(1/4" x 3.5" or .6 x 9 cm) so that it is
centered horizontally on the taped D
piece. The ends are even top and bottom,
forming a loop in the center. Sew with a
straight stitch across the ends and where
the loop starts. Zig zag on the strap. See
drawing.
Later, when you are putting the
spine sleeve in place, you will catch the
outer edges of piece D. (Note: The
dihedral will slide into the strap but will
not stay in place.) Diagram 8 on page

shows the strap's location. Reinforcement D
