I'm really curious as to how they avoid roll coupling with a highly swept wing like that.  The conventional wisdom for years was that sweep acts like dihedral, with the 'forward going' wing presenting more area to the airstream and thus making more lift, resulting in roll with rudder. 

Hoping someone can straighten me out on my apparent misconception!

Several designers have come out with swept wing pattern planes.  Seems like CPLR's Oreka was the first (in recent years).  Now others are following, notably in the Yang-produced designs, but also in the V2 Cuantic from CA Model. 

Thoughts on why and what the benefits and tradeoffs might be?  A gimmick?
