Default Astro Hog Dihedral

Hi
I am building an Astro Hog, the plans do not show the amount of "Dihedral". Could someone advise the SIG dihedral angle or the amount of rise above horizontal at the wing tips.
Thanking you
Blackhog

blackhog, Plans call for 12 degrees (6 per wing) but most including myself took half of it out. I just maidened mine and flies great at 6.

at 6 deg per wing this plane is a super easy flyer with a lot of forgiveness and yet still capable of some nice aerobatics. With no dihedral it still flies stable but inverts a lot nicer and is still a very stable flier

Raise each tip 1" and it will look good and fly excellent.
