Also the XS (with wash-out, as already pointed out) can have sudden wing
drop at stall entry if you are flying alone - mine does. Probably the
slight left aileron down/right aileron up that is necessary to keep wings
level with off-centre crew weight will create different angles of attack at
the outer part of the two wings' span, causing the left wing to stall first
and drop. When flying with a passenger, however, the stall of my XS is very
benign (almost difficult to enter stall in clean configuration). Recovery
is quick and undramatic in either case, nose down and right rudder
immediately stops the wing drop and level the wings.
