Default Axial Rolls??

No, I'm not really having any problems with my planes. A while back I went through and really checked out my Big Low Stick custom design. It wasn't rolling as axial as I thought it could. Come to find out one side was a little heavy, but more importantly it had a little downthrust in it that it didn't need. Took that out, retrimmed, and now it rolls better.

Actually, it was more of a question in general about axial rolls. I'm going to design something in the 72 to 80 inch range for use with small gas engines, and was debating in my head whether to bother with sweep. That got me to wondering about the actual aerodynamics of the question.

Thanks for the help and info though.
