To LouW,

Thank you for the input. I am pretty familiar with basic aerodynamics and know what dihedral is for. Guess I needed to be more specific in what I am trying to do. I know I can't go wrong with factory recommendations but what I am wondering is that if I go with the two midpoint breaks would I best be served by approximating the factory "total" dihedral, less or more? In the past I have usually gone with factory or less angle and have always been pleased with the handling. On the other hand this is my first glider that would have the breaks about mid panel of each side as opposed to say a Falcon 880 or that series that had more of a turned up tip. I tend to prefer my sailplanes to be on the shy side of dihedral, not looking for "super-stable".
