True Bill, it is not in the plans, however, the builder's manual does specify a
1" raise at each wingtip for aesthetic purposes. You can find the reference in
Chapter VIII "Sixty Years of Post Flight", in the "Notes" section. I assume
that this document is part of the builders manual (it was included with the plans
package that I purchased from Pietenpol). Perhaps it that written by one of
his sons?? Verbatim:

Note 18. Dihedral.

Dihedral isn't required in this airplane. However, with the aircraft sitting on
the ground the straight wing gives the illusion that the wing is drooped on each
side. With that in mind, put approximately one inch of dihedral at each wing
tip and the wing will not look straight.
