Bridi Shrike Commender wing drawing!
I bought Bridi Aero Commander this past weekend at a swap meet, while going over its plan i noticed that plan calls for some degree of dihedrial but on the plans it showing anhedrial and when i join both wing halfs together it joins on anhedrial angle at root Vs dihedrial....i know these are vintage kits but i like to know from guys who have built these how did you guys solved this issue?....

I believe that the plan is simply showing the wing upside down. The plans I have seen usually show blocks under the wing tips. Yours is blocked in the center most likely. Either way would work, plus it may be easier to use a block in the center. My WAG. The position of the engines nacelles tells me that this is the case.

These guys are correct. I used to have one of these kits, they are just showing the wing upside down on the plan for easy dihedral measurements. Good luck with the kit. Post some pics as you build it.
