It's more of a centerline angle thing," That's what I was thinking too, it's based on the 'spar-centerline'. Also I believe another way to determine that value is to take the average of: "top of the spar dihederal" and "bottom of the spar dihederal". For example if your (not really that smart) Smart-Level gave numbers like Gunars below and you averaged them... ( Dihedral at top of wing: 2.21 deg......plus....Dihedral at bottom of wing: 3.64 deg.) / 2 = 2.925 deg. Compares well with "Dihedral at wing center: 2.93 deg." Tom
