The aircraft (GP Extra 300SP) is trimmed and cg is in the recommended range. When I fly the aircraft, it does not really want to stay wings level. Its almost like its balancing on a ball always wanting to tip to one side. I make an input back to wings level and shortly thereafter, it falls off the other way. If I was building it I would say it needs a bit of dihedral. Obviously I can not put any in.

Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations? Reflex both ailerons?

Thanks
I have the same airplane with the exact same problem, it was always rolling off one way or the other and never felt locked in. The fix was to change out the aileron servos which were Savox metal gear digital minis. They had a lot of gear train slop. I replaced these with Hitec HS-225's and the problem went away. The airplane flies much better now and stays where I point it.
