Default RE: Corby Starlet

Okay, so am I the only one in this thread who has noticed that the model doesn't seem to have nearly as much dihedral as the full-scale? Or is this just an illusion?

Question for Chris White how much dihedral is in the full-scale Corby? It looks to be at least 5 degrees, if not more, where the model has a quite shallow angle. Can't see the number in the full-scale three-view included in the manual.

The spirited look of all that dihedral is a significant contributor to the cuteness factor of this little plane, IMO. I plan on making a new ply joiner for mine, with more dihedral, if that's what it takes.
