You've got to realize that this isn't a high performance airplane and there is a limit to what the airframe will physically do. You could do any or all of the modifications you suggested and I doubt you would increase the roll rate much. You can only push a certain type of plane so far. I know it's probably not what you want to hear, but unfortunately it's the reality of your situation.
If you want that kind of performance it's time to change to a different type of plane

Yo Ken!
I'm not looking for a 3D Hawk Sky just a slight improvement. I could chop the wings a bit and end up with a "roller". I still like the relaxing gliding "dihedral" of the HS. I know you can't have both.
The way my plane rolls now I have to plan way ahead to roll it.
Yeah I'm new at plane RC also.
Is there any other things I can do to help the rolling ability? Do it downwind/upwind/going up/ downuse rudder also??
