What is the advantage of a polyhedral(?) wing? One benefit of the greater dihedral outboard is that it has a longer moment to apply stablizing force which increases roll stability and roll response to yaw. It also spreads the the flow field giving the effect of more span than a "flat" wing. It allows the tip skids or wheels to be further inboard so the tips don't see ground loads. It also looks cool.
