Default Why is my Flair J3 Cub Nasty?

I bought out a guy's hobby and got a Flair Cub out of the deal. I put an ASP 46 on it and the CG is 85 cm back from the leading edge per the plan on the 290 cm chord wing. (29% back) The fuse does have slight twist to it but it doesn't seem that significant. Problem with the plane is that it snap rolls something fierce. If I'm not careful, it is easy to get a secondary snap on the way down when recovering. I've checked the wing and it is quite true. It is actually a fun plane to fly, but a J3 should not have this kind of nasty attitude! Any thing I should check out?
