ORIGINAL: Winghawg1

The only problem I had was that darn bar getting it right, I figured you might notice the wings seem to droop a little in pictures. I got a little glue under one side of the plastic piece oozed out but will fix that today. I just love it this way.



Winghawg if you ended up with a little anhedral (droop) by some mistake and have been flying it OK then may I suggest you leave it in. With any High wing cabin type when the so called self righting of dihedral may no longer be needed then anhedral will impart a more 'stays where you put it' type of flight that is so highly sought after. For that type of neautral roll stability a totally flat wing is desirable only on a mid wing airplane, a highwing airplane a little anhedral is best and a low wing airplane will need a slight dihedral.

I,ve bashed a few trainers this way for others and the results are always very pleasing. Look at it this way you could call it 'Dumbo Hawg' [8D]
