While flying on Sunday, a friendīs Superstar claped its wings doing a low pass maneuver. The fuselage needs only minor cosmetics and the wing broke perfectly in half. Since Iīm going to repair it I was thinking of putting together the wing without dihedral, in order to make it more aerobatic.
Has anyone ever done this with this type of wing? ( Flat bottom airfoil). Or it will be better of with some degree of dihedral.
Thanks.

If your looking for a more aerobatic plane i would suggest cutting the dehirdral. It will make inverted flight and most manveurs alot easier, but of course will effect stablilty. There are many flat bottom no dehirdral airplanes, trainers just use them for extra stability. I say if you have enough experience with the plane as it was before go for it.
