Well,
After a couple of weeks of flying this plane I have decided that I was the problem. THings have gotten a whole lot better since I used shoguns setup advice. Now I am a lot more confident and with agressive use of the rate switches I have almost totally eliminated the stall, snap problems. I have been able to relax and have some fun. Tried some DOD knife edge passes, some ke figure 8s vertical and horizontal, all sorts of stall and spins and its all good. Still trying to work the kinks out of hovering but its getting a whole lot better. Im having fun now, thanks for the tips and advice.

Only too happy to be of assistance!
