It's just the inverse tangent of the "rise over the run". Without looking at the plans, and running on memory alone (always a bad idea), I think it's 5 inches over a distance of about 79 inches (to the end of the outboard spar), so that'd be the inverse tangent of .0633, which is 3.6 degrees. That's not enough, in my humble opinion, at least not based on my "wanderings" in my KR2S. I'll build my next one to 5 degrees of dihedral...
