You are perfectly correct
This is what I had on mind, just the wrong "spelling"
Thanks
It means that even 6 degrees would not do it
Tom
you probably did not sand this panels enough at joins
For example Laszlo makes each pannel longer about 1/16"
depending how many taper pannels is there it might grow qiet a bit
anybody got a picture of XP 4.5?

If you consider dihedral it might be on the spot
for 4 degrees on ech side
cos ( 2X4degrees) X 59.525" = 58.945
No - that calculation would give the wingspan for 8 deg on each side (if
59.525 is the span with no dihedral). The correct calculation is 2 x
(59.525 /
2) x cos4deg, or just
59.525 x cos 4deg = 59.38 (draw a diagram!). Good Lift
