Default dihedral roll-back affect

hehe So, now that we agree about what happen on a full wing, how come an half wing would be that different ? For the sake of the discussion, imagine the fuselage is a tiny wire, no aerodynamic influence from it. Now imagine a 90 degres dihedral (each half wing has 45 degres angle), and you bank 45 degres, that is, one wing is horizontal, the other is vertical. What will happen ? (Beside the dihedral, the plane setup is as neutral as the pattern plane we were talking about before)
