Default PA Bad Boy V2 - Knife edge coupling?

Hi everyone,

First of all, I maidened my PA Bad Boy V2 today !!!!! What a lot of fun this plane is. I've only ever flown trainer/sports models before and this little beauty was an absolute blast to fly. I managed to do a knife edge spin, well I think that's what it's called when the wing is vertical and the body is spinning around the wing. Don't ask how I got it into that attitude but it looked impressive

During normal knife edge flight (not the spin above) it tucks to the belly quite a lot. I've never heard of anyone else having an issue like this with this plane so I was wondering what would be the general cause for this behaviour? I can, and probably will, mix it out, but I'd like to know where I potentially went wrong with the construction so I can have a chance of fixing it, or avoiding the same mistake on the next plane. The fuse, wings etc. all look to be ok, no warps that I can see.

Thanks, FJ
