IIRC the 707-436 had a parallel yaw damper which had to be disengaged for take-off and landing and even with the extra fin area (main + ventral) their was a continuous mild tendency to dutch roll. This was not the case with the -321C which had a series yaw damper and thus no ventral fin. It would have been interesting to hear DPD's opinion of the stab trim motor stalling under large mistrimmed conditions.
