Removal of Dihedral in Pitts S1S?

[Parky109]

Hi Guys

I'm just in the process of fitting some new Raven wings to my S1S and am currently fitting new I struts. My landing wires are on the long side, so this gives me the opertunuty to remove some of the lower wings dihedral. I have seen online that some have removed all of it, and some have kept the standard 4 degrees.

What's it like?

What does it handle like without it?

Is the inverted performance benifit out weighed by rubbish erect handling?

I was going to cut I struts material tomorrow, so I'd really appreciate your views?!

Many thanks!!!
