So the plane did upline rolls perfectly, but it went into the spin on a downline roll without any rudder or elevator input?
Here's another question, did you have a PCM reciever? If so, what is your failsafe set to? | |

And just to confirm all three that you just mentioned, the plane never climbed while inverted, never tried to climb at slow speeds, and it never required constant, unnecessary elevator input to maintain pitch.
Yes, after I performed a hammerhead and the plane was headed downline, the slightest aileron input without any elevator or rudder input would throw the airplane into that deadly spin. If I kept all controls deadsticked after the hammerhead, the plane would track downline straight as an arrow.
I used a JR PCM receiver until Nov. 2007, which was when I upgraded to the new JR X9303 DSM2 2.4Ghz & R921 receiver. My failsafe's were set at neutral on all surfaces and was set to idle on the throttle servo.
