Practical effect of dihedral on DS models
Hi all,
What practical effect does dihedral angle have on a DS model? (ie, how does increased dihedral angle affect model stability?). I can wrap my head around the theory (increased drag etc), but I was curious to hear flight reports. Cheers, Adam |

it will limit roll rate which is important for maneuvering as you go up and down. Prolly more drag too than lift. Stability wise...Im not sure
