Happy Days:
How much dihedral are you thinking of using on this bird Fred?

Fred:
Ah women... Always the good words to keep us happy !  :P  :P

For the dihedral, first plan was 0 degrees for the middle section, 2 degrees for the panels, and 40 degrees for the winglet...

Now, I have to compute all that, but I would like to try 0.5, 1.5 and 40 degrees, to have some sort of elliptic dihedral...
Just to see the effects...

But anyway, I keep in mind that this is not a fully molded wing, so effects in a computer, will be totally different on the reality due to the building method...

Peter:
That's exactly the sort of glider I had in mind Fred - I'd be up for the 2.5 m  version - how about a three-piece wing with flat central section?

Great day last Saturday - that one will last in the memory for a while!  Good to see everyone there.

Fred:
Hi Peter,

Always good to see people at the slope, especially on a day like the one we had ! Perfect!  :D

For the central panel, I had plan to have it in 2 parts with wing joiners as this is solid (plywood frame...) and easy to setup (+ that gives you a bit of room in the center section of the fuselage).

But, can be done in one piece, bolted on the fuselage.
I'll change the plan so  :D
