Default Forward Sweep

Both forward sweep and anhedral result in adverse yaw to roll coupling. The large vertical tail will help to dampen any yaw oscillations. Rudder deflection may need to be kept to a minimum to minimize the adverse yaw to roll coupling. Lots of aileron differential will help minimize the need for rudder deflection. The center of the wing will probably stall first and protect against tip stall. The lack of tip stall will result in slower snap rolls.
