Hi Timothy,
Here are exact angles in degrees:
#1 -- 63,43
#2 -- 72,65
#3 -- 66,80
#4 -- 63,64
Now, please let me remind you that the real angle of a slope is not equal to the
angle of the final roof built with that slope, because when you build a roof,
for each slope you have a step of one plate. Therefore, if you want to build a
roof with slopes #1 and #2, the angles for the roofs (rooves?) will be:
#1 -- 67,38
#2 -- 74,48
I did some experimentation and, in fact, when you build a roof with slope #1 and
you align it to the little wing #3, the difference is unnoticeable.
As a last note, and while I am at it, here are some more angles:
wing 2 x 3 -- 71,56 (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/43723)
wing 2 x 4 -- 75,96 (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/41770)
wing 3 x 12 -- 80,54 (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/47397)
wing 6 x 12 -- 71,56 (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30355)
Any corrections are welcome.
Best regards,
Paulo Renato

| Errata: In the previous post, #3 refers to "little wing" and #4 to "big wing", not the opposite, as marked (by me) in Timothy's post. My appologies, Paulo Renato (22 years ago, 14-Aug-04, to lugnet.parts)

| Okay friends. I have a bit of a problem I hope someone can assist me with. I'm in the process of mulling over a project in my mind. This is the only way I can do this, as all my Legos are in a place where they are inaccessable to be at this moment. (...) (22 years ago, 13-Aug-04, to lugnet.build)
