This is incorrect. Both wings are going down (and both are
going forward). They both go down at the same rate, they go
forward at different rates (inner wing slower). If you think
about it, that means that the inner wing has a higher AOA.

Thank you for clarifying again for me. I sure love this stuff but
I sure don't have the background to truly understand it!
But I sure love flying gliders!
