OK, roll coupling can be eliminated on low wing plane with dihedral
Jim
Are you sure of this?
Dihedral is a major cause of rudder-roll couple. When the rudder yaws the airplane, the advancing wing's dihedral angle gives it increased lift and it does so. The retreating wing's diherdral causes it to lose lift and it rolls down.
