dihedral question

[ANDY HERIDER]

Shel,

I have a Killer Kaos that I flew in novice,which is now sportsman,and it flew really well. When I built it I took out all the dihedral and built the wing completely flat. It handles great and does inverted flight with just a breath of elevator. I did set it up with fixed gear though. The fixed gear will take alot more abuse than the retracts. Make sure you reinforce the ribs for the mounting blocks good and I would epoxy the grooved mounting block and the kicker block. This will allow time for the glue to soak into the hardwood. Hope you enjoy building the Kaos as much as I enjoyed building mine.

HI  i'm building a ultimate kaos 60 as a spare sport airframe.the plans show 1 inch dihedral under each tip.my question is if i cut it back to say 1/2 inch under each panel(1 inch total)would this have a good effect.i'd like to use it for practicing entry level pattern(fixed gear) any advice out there?thanks............shel
