I did 1 1/2 deg. If I remember correctly, it's raising the tips about 1 1/2" from flat.walt evansNX140DL ----- Original Message -----

Here's a site anyone working on a wing dihedral will find to be really really helpful:http://www.carbidedepot.com/formulas-trigright.aspA bit over 1/2 deg (0.5509 degrees) at the root will lift the tip (at approx 13 feet) to 1 1/2 inches...Amazing what such a small angle will do over a bit of a distance...----- Original Message -----
