Just reading all of the Dihedral talk,I like the idea of a built to the plans Piet,I want a Ford A and 1929 gear with wire wheels when mine is completed, but, I must say that a touch of dihedral; makes it look just that little bit better........My model Piet has dihedral, works great, then again it needs it as it doesn't have ailerons!The little Piet has had 148 flights so far, it first flew in 2001.The shots are of it sitting on the shores of Tokyo Bay, I flew it as far out over the water as I dared just so I could say that it has flown over Tokyo Bay, I guess it is something that most Piets don't get a chance to do very often.The other shot was taken when I flew it at the site of the first powered flights in Japan. The monument in the background is the memorial to those early flight by the Japanese.Built rib #21 today, progress, progress.......................Regards to allMark SJapan(for now) ________________________________________________________________________________
