My 72" Edge 540 has a tendancy to drop a wing and go into a spin when you pull on high G's.
I have balanced the model and it flys ok doing big manouvers, but if you fly too slow or pull on the G's it will snap dropping its right wing.
I checked the lateral balance and had add a bit of tip weight to the left wing, but still there is no real improvement..
Is there anything else I can do to stop this from happaning?
I am putting it down to a poorly designed model.

Along with the other excellent suggestions here, make absolutely certain your elevator halves are exactly in line, (assuming you have separate linkages for them) throughout their whole travel. This includes making sure the geometry of the linkage is identical (e.g. the servo arms are parallel throughout the range of movement).
Good luck!
