Goggles on Target
Suggest you google: See How It Flies--J.S.Denker
Read Sections 8 & 9 for the answer to your question.
If you're not aware of this internet resource it is an online book written by a flight instructor who also happens to be a Physicist.It is the finest account of the fundamentals of flight that I have read (and I've read quite a few.)Aimed specifically at us (amateurs at the light end of aviation) so nothing on mach effects/jet turbines etc. Since I have only a rudimentary grasp of mathematics, physics and aerodynamics I am not in a position to be critical of the text but practising Aerodynamic Engineers that have posted on these forums in the past have recommended it.
Read and understand why a statement like:
" dihedral provided some stability in roll. The wing which - as a result of a disturbance around the roll axis - becomes more horizontal is going to produce more lift, and thus counter the roll"
is wrong.
This text coupled with Stick and Rudder by Langewieschie should be required reading in any flight training.
