I have been flying my Little Single Seat Cub, (LSSC) for almost 7 years. I always thought that it needs a little more roll stability. If I bank it to about 15 degs and let go of the stick, the wings will stay in that bank and not come back. Any less than that, It will gradually come back to level. At this time, I have .9 degs of dihedral. I have been thinking of increasing the dihedral to 1.2 degs.
What do you think? Should I leave good enough alone, or should I go to 1.2 degrees or should I increase the dihedral more than 1.2 degs ? Dan
