Pull to Canopy when Banking
I have a Swallow EX 90 that will pull to the canopy when I bank it 45 deg or more. There are no mixes tied to the ailerons, elevator is dead neutral in level flight, engine up/down thrust seems fine and I have tried various degrees of aileron differential up to 25%. It’s messing with my slow rolls. Thanks for any info you can provide.

You may have just a tad of aileron drop, (think flaps). Running level it is held in check by stab/elevator/thrust, but banked, it may pull to the canopy. How is the CG?

How much elevator push for inverted flight?
Pull to the canopy on KE? During throttle idle downlines?
Sounds like CG (too far back) or wing incidence (too much positive).
