The downward droop of the tailplane also presents its upper surface to yaw-induced airflow. This probably gives more stability in yaw, as if the vertical tailfin was larger...and may also cause a rolling moment into the turn i.e. cause less roll stability and may therefore reduce a tendency to dutch roll. Jolly clever, these aerodywotsits!
