ORIGINAL: f3a05

Looking at your nice pictures of your Atlantis, and reading that your present wings are heavy, I would guess that the weight of the wing is the problem.
Is the problem that it is difficult to make the snap stop at the right place?
If so, a wing panel that is lighter, especially out towards the tip, will make the snap roll much easier to start and stop, and is more important than the airfoil used.
When I´m trying to make two snap rolls then 1st roll is slow and the 2nd if much more faster and better than 1st.

Right wing: 550 grams
Left wing : 545 grams

So I think that it is too much and I would to have 350-400 grams. So I will try to make a smaller wing.
Can you recommend me wing loadnig ? I'm not sure how big should be the wings.
