[NSRCA-discussion] Genesis dihedral

[Verne Koester]

Thanks Ron. If your kit wings are like mine, there's no way to check. With the wing in the shuck, the trailing edge is parallel to the table, root to tip. The wing root is exactly perpendicular to the table. My wing tube is a little sloppy so I can't say for sure but it appears to be parallel to the table as well. All of that adds up to no dihedral, but I find that hard to imagine. As I understand it, the only way no dihedral works is if the wing and stab are on the thrust line. I'd be interested in knowing what you find with yours if you have the time.

Thanks,
Verne

  Verne,

  I have 2 kits, one already built as an electric that I flew all year.   I don't know what the degrees are without setting the unbuilt kit wings up on the work bench,  but my airplane needs more dihedral that specified as it has adverse roll with rudder on both sides -- about 3-4%.  Not a problem per se with mixing however.

    Hi Steve,
    I read Steve's write-up but he never said what the dihedral is. Pete's plane is stored at Andrew's so I'll probably go over there and check that one. Might take a flight or two while I'm at it to see if I like it... :)

      Verne, Steve Kessler done a build on RCU  think it's in the electric pattern.

        Anybody know what the dihedral is supposed to be on a Genesis? It's not cut into the cores and the instructions don't say.

        Thanks,
        Verne
