Default Torkin' a UCD 46 - Help!

Slowly learning to hover my UCD, playing around with torque rolling, too, but I have a problem -

The torque will start rolling the plane fine for about 180 degrees, then it will come to sudden stop. Can't get it to go more that half way around. I can't see any difference in attitude when it stops, but I'm guessing that since the belly is pointing toward me, I don't see it leaning as easily. Anyone out there have tips on torking this thing?

Also, anyone get theirs to flat spin?

My setup is a Saito .91, servos in tail, CG about 6" back.

Rock the throttle stick up and down slightly to get it to torque around.

Yeah, they flat spin great!

I'll try the throttle rocking and see if it helps. Can't seem to get it to flatten out in a spin, though. Full up, full throttle, it still spins nose down. Can't remember if I had flaps mixed in or not. That may have kept it from flattening. Guess I'll give it a few more tries tomorrow...
