Default RE: Rascal 40 Rolls

I'll touch base on several of the comments here... Thanks a million for the efforts. I've accidentally snap rolled with this plane, and yes it's pretty darn cool! Yes, I did expect that this plane would react the way it does since it's a high wing aircraft, and two it does have dihedral. The CG is fine in this plane. In fact, I've installed a 4 stroke OS FL-70 in it and it has tons of power. It is not heavy at all as the FL 4 stroke is a very light engine, just has more power. I did have to squeeze it in to the built in cowl though.

The rolling that I'm experiencing isn't all that bad, it just isn't an axial roll like I'd like it to be and perhaps I'm expecting way too much from this airframe. None the less, I'm going to keep working at it.

Thanks for all your input!
