Just got done overcoming all the problems with materials and engineering
on my Top Flight Nobler, and started sanding it to profile -- backwards.  
I nicely rounded off the hinge line, instead of the leading edge.

Bad Dobby.  Bad, bad Dobby.

It isn't even all the way together and it's already got a crash repair...

Two or three times in my life I have assembled wings with the dihedral
backwards (upside down). I'm also famous for building the firewall in the
fuselage with all of the thrust angles reversed. Darn if I know why. Just
once in a while I get it all wrong, but most of the time it turns out all
right.

That reminds me of the time I was covering a biplane.  I got to the point
where it was time to do the top wing.  I looked over to where I had put it
to see one of the kids it for a hammer, leading edge down to get more force.

I think that's how canards were invented :-)

Having torn apart a model because I glued my fingers to the thing I can
sympathize. Also done the duplicate fuse side, you name it.
