Guys, I've been flying my S800 for a month or so now with mixed results. I've been unable to get rid of a wobble it's got when you complete a roll, so you're flying straight and level, you perform a roll and when you return to level flight, it bounces left to right on it's roll axis for a second or so. This kinda occurs when you're just flying which means I don't really have confidence in it. I've shifted CofG forwards and backwards 5mm in either direction and it doesn't seam to make any difference. Kinda stuck as to what this is. Also noticed sometimes when you perform a loop, it performs a roll on the downward part which is kinda scary. There's no visible deformation of the air frame, any advice welcome. You can see what i'm on about in this quick vid, https://youtu.be/No_rUyMNSTo

Are you using a flight controller or full manual?

Check wing is balanced left to right.

It's got a CC3D but I pretty much fly in PassThrough, I know there's a 10g difference left to right, do you think the weight difference is the cause? do you think it stalled on the loop?

Possibly close to a stall,try putting some weight in one of the cut  outs on the wing to balance it,and maybe reduce the mechanical throws a little.

No idea- just bung it in the air and have fun- it's a great wing.
