Default RE: My new build

Nope, baked chicken tonight. Yesterday I did the right wing half, today I was flying until noon and when I got home I built the left side. I have the halves clipped together to show it to the fellow I'm giving it to. The question is about the dihedral, it was designed in 1942 as a free flight and has a flat bottom wing. As shown it has the stock 4 inches on each side. I asked him if he would like it reduced before I glue them together? I'm thinking at least 1/2 of what it is. It will only be three channel though. His call. The wing tips called for 1/16 and 5 layers laminated, I just cut them from 1/8 light ply in one piece.
