It is also possible to cause stability problems.  Over stable can make the
wing spiral down if it is yawed too much.  Especially if it is a poly where
you are using the rudder as primary roll control and more likely ot apply a
lot of it.

How do I know.  I've done it.  Nasty, nasty tip stall like behavior with the
plane spiralling around a wingtip.  Oddly enough, I believe I solved the
problem by reducing rudder throw.  Go figure...
