Status: offline 		Hello, I have the 1/5 scale Waco (Pica), and would like to know if there is any dihedral in the top wing? I've had this plane flying since 1986 and don't remember. The plans have disapeared.
BTW the plane took a spill off the work bench at the field and tweaked the top wing. THANKS for the help.

Status: offline 		That would be great stickbuilder, thank you. I knew the bottom wing had dihedral, I just couldn't see much if any in the top wing since it was damaged.
I'm building a half scale Smith Miniplane with dihedral in the bottom wing and no dihehral in the top wing so I guess I was assuming the Waco was the same. BTW your plane looks great.
Again Thanks for the measurement. Rick

Status: offline 		Lookin real sweet Bill,had a setback with my waco mounting the aileron servo,I think I know why the ailerons didnt respond for him on takeoff.He used the plastic pushrods with bellcranks,I thought that was a bad idea when I was repairing the wing>It took no effort to deflect all the pushrod and bellcrank with just 1 aileron.The long and the short I preformed surgury this weekend.Broke my heart to do that to a new airplane,better now than to bring it home in shopping bag.Took your advise and used a high torque servo didn"t slow that down a bit.Put stronger wire & stiffer bellcranks in it should be ok now.Keep up that great work youve rounded turn 3 Chris

from the table surface to the top of the tip measures 3" exactly (on each side) The top of the tip is at the extreme length of the span.

Status: offline 		Both wings have the same amount of dihedral. The bottom wing is just a tad shorter, so you can't measure from the tip of the bottom wing to the table. Due to the lack of span, the distance to the top of the tip from the table would be different.
