Default Reactor bipe flight issues.

Ok so I have this Reactor bipe with Saito 100 power. The issues I'm having are a very slow snap from upright, and I just cannot get this thing to kniffedge spin. The snapping problem is only from upright flight. Inverted or knifeedge snaps are great! I just don't understand what's going on. On the drive home from the field today I came up with the theory that my 4 huge ailerons are slowing it down. Does'nt explain why it snaps fine from inverted though. The knifeedge spins are just about impossible to get into. Out of 20 attempts, I got it to KE spin once. It was'nt very tight though. I'm running a nuetral cg FWIW. I do have to say that this airplane is an awesome flier! I just want to correct the flight charecteristics in those 2 areas. Anyone have any insight they'd be willing to share? I thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide. Have a good one! Trevor
