Default Typhoon 2 3D Coupling/Balance issues

Finally got my Typhoon together and up in the air, and I was wondering if I could get some input on how I might improve my setup.

I've noticed that it's very unstable when hovering, especially compared to most of the planes (including a model of this Typhoon) I've played with in RealFlight G4. Is this just a difference between the sim and reality, or can I adjust my balance to make it more stable?

I've also noticed coupling issues with the rudder when flying knife-edge. Tight loops, at low power or dead stick especially, also result in rolling. This however was something I noticed in G4 as well.

I'm running it on a DX6i, and don't have the sideforce generators attached. This is my 2nd plane and first 3d capable plane; I've been having a lot fun with it so far :P
