Before anyone jumps at me for not reading the plans or build 

manual.....all Kolbs have some dihedral(another memory lapse)  



   54 inch lift struts is correct for the Firefly....a string from 

leading edge wing tip to wing tip should show about an inch dihedral at 

the middle of the string...Herb

On my mkiii the instructions said that the bottom of the outside rib should be 1 1/2 inches higher than the inside...   At that point I had negative roll stability.  I doubled the diheaderal and the roll stability went to.  Almost neutral.
