Update. Lateral CG seemed to be the problem. I added about 2.5 oz of weight to the right wing and man what a difference. It smoothed out the performance in a dramatic way. I was able to transition to inverted flight with almost no change in heading. Big round loops with almost no corrections. I was really skeptical at first but I'm a believer in lateral balancing now!

LOL, Had a great time this weekend with the maiden of my Yak. Need to get that thing (mine) mixed and trimmed right for all the harder maneuvers.
