An interesting thing I have not really figured out is that from both wings full to one wing half full (I burn 15ish gallons from my take off tank which holds 33 gallons the airplane does not take on a serious deviation from wings level. That's a bunch of foot pounds of moment change, but there it is. the weight of 15 gallons compared to the weight of your aircraft isnt much. dihedral is the answer to the puzzlement. it changes the length of your wings to compensate.
