Default Does dihedral increase drag ?

As I stated in another thread,

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_3194805/tm.htm

I think that diehdral wings are more draggy than the same wings with no dihedral.
Please read my posts in that thread on give your opinion.
As a conclusion, I would say that a speed record plane shall have no dihedral.
