Next, I wanted to see how the change of dihedral affected the wing to fuselage placement, and I found out that I had another challenge. The wing was not sitting correctly on the fuselage saddles.
More formulas, thinking, and calculating, led me to figure that the solution was to trim the trailing edge of the wing where the fuselage made contact, and remove the existing wing support blocks on the fuselage. Once I did this the wing fitted perfectly to the fuselage. Of course I have to rebuild another wing bolt support plywood, but this will be pie for me. Pictures show the aftermath.
