Interesting to find the dihedriel for the M-10 is
listed in the maintenence handbook as 7
degrees...SO...I expect the earlier spec sheet was a
mis-print...(1969 Mooney Cadet M-10 spec sheet in "A
Touch of Class", page 424 lists 5 degrees. -
Also HooRah !.
I found in Fred Weick's autobiography, "From The
Ground UP", page 221, discussing the potential of a
float plane Ercoupe, para 1 on page 221, sentence 4
... "And with the seven degrees of dihedral, even the
low wing position was not a terrible disadvantage in
docking, brcause the tip of the wing was only a foot
or so lower than the tip of an ordinary high-wing
aircraft".
