Thumbs up

Agree with Master Greens comments, but would add that more than one design office faced with the wrong dihedral EFFECT from the whole aircraft has found it cheaper to redesign the tailplane spar than the wing one....

Certainly if a design has an anhedral tailplane (like some military types) it is likely that it is an attempt to reduce an otherwise excessive overall aircraft dihedral effect.
