My flight in the lightened Extra 300 EP was less than impressive, attempted loops gave an excessive roll. Thought I may have accidently intruduced rudder with up elevator so paid particular attention to vertical elevator stick movement on next attempt & same result. Final left turn for landing & introduced elevator in the turn & it straightened up nearly ending up in the trees next to the entry ramp. Have checked that the horizintal stabiliser is parallel to wing spar & is ok. As each side of the elevator is individually controled (pushrods coupled to one bar attached to 1 servo arm) I checked that the throw on each elevator is the same. Again checked as OK.
On initial flight had to give a large amount of right aileron trim for it to fly straight.
Has me baffled.
