Default general ? Cap 232

Cap 232
I've flown my new Cap 5 times with no problems. The aircraft has a 74 in. wing and 66 in. body. We built it light and strong, we got it down to 13lbs. We put a O.S. 1.60 in it thats turning a 18-6.
Needless to say i've got more then engouh power.
But i've found that the aircraft hates to land in a cross winds. . I had alittle trouble getting it down the first time."cross wind" . But it ended up in a smooth landing. Anyways i've notice that the cap likes to start tiping on a wing. "The right side" This happends on landing's. So is this a early sign of a tip stall or could it be the wieght of the engine. Snice its in there sideways. I've been flying r/c aircraft for 2 and a half years and have a 7 aircraft that fly great. They are all .40 to .61s. They all have wash-out. The Cap is my first plane to fly without wash-out.
Im 16 and im a member of AMA 682464 and IMAA 28442. If you can help me with this thanks.
