Default RE: High wing with anhedral....

Too bad you dissagree.

It is easier to understand if one takes an extreme example. Think of a wing with extreme dihedral -- the center of lift will be well above the aircraft center of mass (& probably well above the fuselage). Run a wire across between the wings at the 1/2 span location & at longitudinally above the spar (approximate location of the center of pressure). Stick a bit of tape at the center-point of the wire & tip the plane into a nose up attitude. What is happening to the center of lift, relative to the center of mass?
