I have recently finished building a Great Planes 40 size Ultimate Biplane. I test flew it earlier today and I am lucky to still have it in one piece. After rolling into a right bank, the plane rolls left and pops up when I apply elevator. I don't know what it does when in a left bank and elevator is applied, I didn't get that far. I think that the elevators aren't aligned, but I really don't know. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

It sounds like your elevators aren't moving the same amount. It could also be a twisted wing, too much elevator travel, accidental mixing of the rudder or ailerons with the elevator or it cold be tail heavy.
