I am just wondering, why one degree? Why not two or three? I guess my point isbe careful making aerodynamic changes using the TLAR method (That Looks AboutRight). I am no aerodynamicist, so your idea may be great one. But be careful. One thought- Mark Roberts contacted Harry Riblett and as I understand it, Harry was verygracious in answering questions. Maybe you could speak with Harry and gethis thoughts on the use of dihedral in the wing.Let us know what you find out- your idea might be a really good one that we allshould think about.--------Semper Fi,TerryRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 25 May 2011 04:58:04 -0700 (PDT)
