Default Dihedral for GP Skybolt

Well, I plan on using pull-pull on rudder and a servo for each elevator half. I'm also going with the four Ailerons.
Engine choice?...Well I just happen to have an OS1.08 laying around looking for work and bought a pitts style mufler and aluminum spinner.
I'm NOT doing the traditional color scheme, but rather something more original.
I'm using light purple and metallic plum with a pink lightning bolt on the fuse sides and pink with lt purple checks on the bottom of the wings and tail feathers.
I believe it will balance ok but I
also I have read these birds can be tail heavy, so I'll check the balance before covering minus the radio gear in the fuse, but with the elevator,and aileron servos and linkages set up.
Thanks for all your help with the dihedral question.
