    Help on dihedral effect on low wing aircraft

    I know dihedral is added for stability and control but I'm having difficulty visualizing (and therefore explaining) the effect of a DIFFERENCE in dihedral on one side or the other. For instance; hypothetically speaking if the dihedral on a model is 10 degrees on the left side and 0 degrees on...
