Ziroli Zero plans show 4.5" at 37" = 6.9 degrees
Hal Parenti Top FLite 60 Zero shows 6-5/8" for 61"ws or 3-5/16" for 30.5"

I found a Mitsubshi Zero spec on the web that said 6.5 degrees of dihedral.

I also posted this question an anoterh RCU Zero thread at http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-w...l#post12373370

thanks - ken
I've not built the Platt Zero but see no reason to put in any more than what is scale. Having said that, I've seen lots of Platt Zeros and did not notice that any of them looked like they had too much dihedral. Just my .02 cents of course.
