The M-10 specs do show 5 degrees.. However, to be correct ,,,,, :) On Page 347 of "The Ercoupe, A Touch of Class", is a write up about the 415C coupe modified to retractable gear..... Here it states " ...he added the speed kit and decreased the dihedreal from the normal 7 degrees to a mere 3 1/2 degrees. So, Maybe 7 degrees is correct. Somewhere I have read about the wing design, and mention of dihedreal, but I do not find it ai any specification sheet.
