OK..for a designer who likes the new and bold

short wings = high stall speed. probably 270 - 420 degrees per second roll rate.. She's gonna be a handful..
 
Definitely a solid roll rate, but I wouldn't be so certain about the high stall speed. I see big flat surfaces on the bottom of the aircraft, which usually means fuselage lift will make a notable contribution at higher AoA. If they're really on their game and take advantage of CFD, then you could expect stall (in the strict sense of boundary layer separation) to be delayed until 20-25deg AoA, while lift would not really drop off until 35deg or so. Also, I imagine wing loading would be fairly light for the planform since there is no ordinance, smaller turbines, and probably a lot of carbon.
