Rich I'm sorry to hear of your problem with the T-45. I read your description a few times and this is what I got out of it.
This bird does not fly like the L-39. It is heavier and takes a minute to get up to speed. It sounds to me like you may have stalled it at least twice. The first "wiggle" was the jet telling you "hey I'm too slow". The final rollover was a classic stall.
My advice, easy on the climbout and initial turn. After that she flies great at mid throttle. For landing, come in a bit high, throw out all the stuff, and pull the throttle back. Add in a little throttle as you level out about 4ft off the deck. then slowly reduce throttle.
I will link a video below of the correct landing. I almost crashed on takeoff because I was looking down at my feet (we fly in a hay field with fireants…) But don't be scared of this bird. She is easy to fly. And you cannot beat the sound of it.

Hope you have success with this jet in the future.
