A few questions:

1) Has the rigging specs for the standard Slybolt changed since '76?

current rigging is 0 dihedral - top, 1 bottom wing - both wings 1.5 incident.

2) how much difference would a full+ degree of bottom diheral make?

3) Is it worth extending the landing wire fittings in order to get 1* instead of 2.5 degrees of dihedral?

4) Has the I strut dimension changed since 76 ish?

Thanks!
