Default RE: How to check for dihedral in wing?

Since it is a tapered wing it should not lay flat.

lay one side flat on your table and measure the distance from the other wingtip to the table.

Then, flip it over and do the same thing.

If it is correct, the two measurements should be equal.

If they are not, don't sweat it. it'll fly just fine anyway
