Is it me or does it have some serious dihedral? Wings flex a lot?

Big deals, rocks can fly too, as many an opponent found out in childhood "wars". The question is how *long* it can stay flying ;).

I figure it'll be at least another three years before this bird gets flown by an actual airline.

I believe the spars of the wings are carbon fiber and that they are designed to flex.

I suppose, given the damage to their manufacturing capability the Boeing management did to themselves, I should be amazed this thing ever flew.

Cujo, that's what ol' Adolph was so upset about.
