Most high wing airplanes that have zero dihedral look like they have anhedral. (Swick T-cart, f'rinstance) 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: http://cessna195.org/classic/brochur...chure=7&page=2 Yeah, zero in the top, but since it's tapered, there can't be zero on the bottom... Bertie 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! Bertie |
