Instruments Problem: Control Wheel Steering Problem

Control Wheel Steering is used by the pilot, in a roll the pilot releases the control what happens?

(1) Does it maintain the roll angle

(2) Does the aeroplane roll out automatically on the heading the pilot let go of the wheel

(3) Does the aeroplane eventually roll out on some arbitary angle after the wheel was let go due to the aircrafts natural stabilisation characteristics.

I'd go for option 1, but 3 seems to be possible too.

Any suggestions?
