dihedral angle

[crash_dummy.223]

I'm building a balsa glider with a 1.6m wing span, it will be a 2 channel (rudder and elevator). I'm wondering what angle i should make the dihedral or if there is any way i can work it out. I would like to use the plane for hight starts and slope soaring

About 10-20 degrees

Any idea of what a good polyhedral angle for a chuck glider would be?

Same as above: sum all joints to total no more than 20 degrees. More and it will be hard to build and will fly funny (non technical term).

OK, thank you!
