Default RE: TMMY Scale Composites 35% scale Cessna

Hi-
The C-47 in RNAF colors on Tommy's webpages is mine, and I also had his 1/5 Cessna. Both are very stable flyers, no problem. A slightly increased wingspan and washout at the wing tips compared to scale account for this.

Very nice looking models, I especially liked the Gooney Bird. One thing I don't understand, about either of them. As much attention as was obviously spent on scale detail, why did they make the wings flat? (no dihedral). The C182 has about 2-1/2 degrees, and the C-47 about 6 or so. The models would sure be more stable with the scale dihedral.
