Default RE: Funtana 90 rolling tendency

Hi everyone.......I don´t think is a matter of lateral balance as the plane have the same tendency when you pull hard up from a level flight and when you pull up hard from a dive. In the first case the plane is pulling up into an inverted posture when it start rolling right; in that case the left wing appears to be heavier than the right one. But when pulling from a dive into a level flight the same right rolling tendency implies that the right wing is heavier. In any case I´ll double check the lateral balance as I have made some changes since I first laterally balanced the plane.
The puzzling thing is that I have exactly the same tendency in a old Uproar 60/OS 91 2T that I´ve been using to practice the more challenging maneuvers before attempting them in the Funtana
Thanks
