Yes roll is sluggish (especially at sane throws), but that is to be expected for a twin - all that weight outboard gives it a very high moment of inertia around the roll axis.
I also experienced "premature takeoffulation" on some earlier flights due to our bumpy field. I tried a bit of down elevator on takeoff today, and it went fine. But I also knew where the bumps were and avoided them, which probably had the bigger effect.
Now that I got this trimmed up and could throw it around a little, this plane is faster than I expected. It really screams by on a fast pass with those twin 90's. I guess it isn't any faster than my Freewing Avanti, but it is significantly heavier and noisier, which makes it feel fast. It's good fun!
Several people asked if that was the original paint, or if a neon lizard had vomited on my plane. Oh well....flight over beauty.
