dihedral question-Kaos

[ronlock]

You need the "right" amount of dihedral for each particular design.
IF, 1 inch under each tip is "right" for that design, reducing it will
likely result in proverse roll when rudder is applied (eg giving right
rudder will result in some left roll)

IF 1 inch is too much dihedral, then a reduction will help.

Terry Terrenoire has built lots of Kaos models.   Terry,
can you verifty what the  "Right" amount is for an Ultimate
Kaos?

Later, Ron Lockhart
