What's happening with the Schweizer and others in the low-airspeed environment wouldn't qualify in the classical sense as Dutch Roll - it's a weird oscillation where the response in roll gets out of phase with the pilot inputs.
Just wondering if this might be the cause of several otherwise unexplained accidents in the hover / low airspeed environment...
