In preparation for wing mounting I want to have some stands to fit under the wings to prevent "tippage"
I did a bit of searching and it appears that for the RV-7A, the wing dihedral angle is 3.5 degrees. Can anyone confirm that this is about the same for the -9A?
If it is 3.5 degrees, then I can use high school trig to predict that the wing only slopes up 8 inches from the root to the final rib (not including wingtip).
That doesn't seem much to me, but maybe someone else will know?
My fuselage is sitting on a platform about 14 inches high, so my wing stands only need to be about 22 inches.
