And you might need a bit more than normal dihedral..............


Oooohhh, good point. Anybody ever flown
an airplane with 'unstable' dihedral effect?
i.e. Step on the left pedal and the airplane
rolls right (but still yaws left)? It's
a very strange feeling.

In both examples (structural and dihedral)
a little forward sweep probably isn't going to make
much difference, but the smart designer should
understand both of these factors (and the ones we've
forgotten) and make an informed decision to neglect
them or not.
