Default How important is dihedral for a Low Wing?
Hi,

i'm cosidering bashing a shoulder wing Ultra Stick ARF into a Low Wing airplane (see pics)

the ARF is a straight wing, and by flipping the fuse upside down it is possible to relocate the wing on the underside. Now if the wing is left alone, the plane would have no dihedral.

Being a low wing, i am wondering how stable (read: easy to fly) it would be. (?)
