21st Century Toys Spit Mk.IIa

[David Harmon]

Hello David, dihedral is the upward angle of the wing from root to tip when viewed from head on (as in D's pix above).

Anhedral is downward angle (Darin's Corsair example has both).

Thanks for the information, Mike.

...although to be really picky David, the dihedral on a Spitfire starts after the flat centre section, about a foot out from the fuselage side

in front view, on a chordwise line carried forward from where the rear fuselage/wing fairing meets the trailing edge.

 

Many a Spitfire model comes to grief by starting the dihedral too early and going wingtip high, or

averaging out the angle changes and ending up wingtip low. But I expect Roy will have that base covered.

 

You will now be returned to normal non-anal comments...
