Default Just fer you.....
Hey Steve,
I put my inclinometer on my level bench and zeroed it. Then, just for you, I walked out to my 6A and put it on the wing. It looks like 4 1/2 or 5 degrees. One tire is newer than the other so it may not be that accurate.

I'm curious why you want to know since you can't change it anyway.

Regards,

The CAFE APRs for both the RV-6A and RV-8A claim that the dihedral is 3.5 degrees.
