Quote<Although the projected wing span remains constant regardless of
dihedral, the
actual length of the wing increases with increased dihedral, therefore the
longer the wing the higher the drag.>
I thought it was one of life’s truths that ‘you never get owt for nowt’.
(For the more refined readers ‘one doesn’t received benefits in life without
some payment is made’) I thought that tip plates would have some weight and
drag of their own but perhaps I am out of touch with modern technology.

I must say though, those K777s don’t arf go!
