Default Dihedral

I am building an old Bridi Krafty.The wing is semi- symmetrical. It calls for 1" 1/4 under each wing tip..I woke up one morning and glued the wing halves together. Apparently was still asleep because I ended up with "2 1/2 of dihedral under each wing tip. It comes with a pre cut wedge that glues in place that determines the amount of dihedral. It comes pre cut but I should have sanded it down to get get the proper amount of dihedral. The center section is not fiberglassed yet. What aerodynamic effects will too much dihedral have on the flying characteristics of this type of model .It will have a KB 61 on it so it will not be slow.
