It has negative dihedral (not to be confused with anhedral) in the leftwing, but positive dihedral in the right. Had to do that to make it flystraight.Just kidding. Darn short focal length lens causes such effects. MyPietenpol actually has a slight amount of dihedral (about =BD=94 per side) toavoid the dreaded =93drooping wing look=94, which I=92ve never actually noticed onany one-piece wing Piet. Nor can I say in truth that such a slight amountof dihedral does anything for lateral stability. The RV-4 looks like thewing is nearly level, when in fact it has quite a bit of dihedral.Jack PhillipsNX899JP =93Icarus Plummet=94Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia _____
