We are on the same page. The analogy with describing lift is spot on.

Never flown a 195 but I bet it rolls a bit with rudder too. I'd bet
it has
a little to do with fuselage blanking the trailing wing lift a bit
while
the leading wing works a little better. But all of that is a wild ass
guess. I'll have to ask our resident 195 guy how it responds to
rudder.


I flew one years ago. Strong airplane...reminded me of something made
out of solid aluminum :-)) It flew wonderfully...extremely stable. Sort
of like a Beaver really.
As for a turn resulting from pure rudder input on these airplanes....you
still have that outside wing going faster than the inside wing
irregardless of the existence or non existence of dihedral, so it will
turn anyway eventually :-)
