<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anhedral stabs were popular on many

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If my memory serves me correctly, and it seems to
fade often <g> anhedral stabilizer resulted in the plane porposing in
cross winds.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think this was the discussion many years ago.
I'm not sure how much cross wind it took...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Perhaps some of the others will recall this as
well...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Working on a Bridi XLT; the stabilizer has
anhedral, and the wing has dihedral (with the wing upside down, there's
about a 3/4 inch gap at the center). Comparing the XLT with Bridi
Great Escape, the Great Escape has a straight stabilizer, and a wing which
has a top surface that is flat (minimal dihedral).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Question #1: What are the characteristics of
the straight vs. anhedral stabilizer, and how does either apply to the
amount of dihedral in the wing?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Question #2: With the anhedral stabilizer (on
the XLT), what kind of mixing can be expected in point rolls and knife
edge?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
