Default RE: High wing with anhedral....

Actually, anhedral destabilizes straight-winged aircraft at high angles of attack. It shifts the center of pressure forward, thus having the effect of moving the C-of-G aft & increasing the nose-up trim force. Conversely, dihedral shifts the AC rearward, reducing nose-up trim forces.
