RE: Taking Dehidral out of a wing....
I use a flat "dihedral" brace of 1/4" spruce glued to the old cut-off brace, & after glueing the wing halves back together (with a balsa wedge to fill the gap), I reinforce the joint with 1/32 balsa sheet glued on, top and bottom, cross-grained to the joint. Never ever had a wing break despite very violent flying.
