What do the drawing(s) show ?

Since you built it you must have some drawing(s) .

If there is not a front view or other way to see it, ask in the combat forum http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_94/tt.htm as the guys who combat may be familiar with this plane.

One inch at the tips is 3 1/3 degrees.

For a combat model I would go no more than1 1/2 to 2 degrees.

In combat there is lots of maneuvering and I would not wish too much stability.

So 1/2 inch at the tip would be suitable.

Just my experience in stability, not in combat.
