What is "dihedral"? Does that mean the angle of the wing to the body, i.e. tilt the wing up a bit at the leading edge?

So the wing needs to be thinner (upper surface to lower surface dimension) and with a bigger chord.
Stab is the horizontal stabilizer in the tail, Chord is the depth from the leading edge of the wing to the trailing edge.

The first thing I would do is try to get the CG right and see what it does.
