Geoff's model has a very slight anhedral, which is OK, as the weight of the fuselage brings the wings level in flight. The prototype came out exactly as shown on the 3-view: I have so far been unable to determine where the discrepancy comes from...

Flamingo Update**
After a lot of faffing about in relation to the varying degrees of anhedral some Flamingos seem to have, I've updated the drawing of the wing joiner box for the fuselage. As well as allowing for both the 14 & 15mm joiner blades, I've increased the dihedral, which will hopefully sort the problem.

Isn't this the same kind of anhedral the Reiher has? The bottom of the wing is level and the top surface slopes down as a result of the smaller ribs at the tip?

Yes, and the early Minimoas, it was quite common for gull-wing types of the period
