Post 75,

I moved the CG why back, to 36% MAC, it just barely sits on the main gear. That seemed to cure about 90% of the canopy pull. I tried thrust and incidence changes, with little effect. It seems to fly fine at this point. The dihedral was NOT set in the cores from Don. His suggestion was to build with the top of that panels on a flat surface. The new wings are being build by Dave Snow (not foam), as a one piece wing. The dihedral angle is 1.333 inches, measured from the root center line to the tip center line, on each panel, which is more than where I started.
