It's tapered as well. so even zero dihedral on top would still
give some below!

He's right, Bertie. Zero. Here's a copy of an old Cessna brochure
which states so explicitly:

Yeah, zero in the top, but since it's tapered, there can't be zero on
the bottom...

I was looking at a 195 just Wednesday - which was having a heater
installed - as I was having service on my heater at the factory... The
centerline of the wing/spar has zero dihedral... And the top surface
is tapered down to the tip as much as the bottom surface is tapered
up...


Dunna thin so.


I'll have ot look at one next time I pass one, though. Only way you
could tell for sure is to sight along the top of the wing..

I usd to fly one and it was a very nice flying airplane whichever way it
is arranged!
