Default RE: Cougar Wiggle

What you are describing is classic Dutch roll. Swept wing one side starts developing more lift so it rolls slightly, then loses lift as the other side starts gaining lift. Put a gyro on the rudder and it smooths it all out. Any number of gyros will work, lately I have used the JR 770, but hearing good things about the 270. Don't use it in heading hold mode.
