It's out of rudder on the knife edges, the point rolls and the hesitation rolls. Where's your CG? Curious as I have the same model/engine combo that's not been flown yet and we had to ad a chunk of lead in the nose, despite all the batteries being up there, to get the thing into the recommended range. Not sure what the exact affect is going to be as mine also has Electron retracts which I'm thinking are heavier than the stock stuff so we may have added a bit too much nose weight when setting up the CG.
