Another tip is to try and fly it as much as possible using the rudder,
like
a RC, your legs are stronger than your arms and the roll can get stick
at
higher speeds.
I liked that plane, alot, I was sad to see it go.

Nick,

Flying gliders, I tend to lead my turns with rudder and then
follow with aileron input anyway, but like you, I find this
technique to be especially effective in a Twin Astir. It is something
my father taught me when I was just starting out. He pretty much
stressed keeping aileron inputs to a minimum to avoid destroying
lift over a large part of the span, thus obtaining a better climb
result. Also keeping the stick quiet - no stirring like churning butter.
Maybe that's part of why I had fellow competitors at WGC's coming
up to me and asking how I was able to climb up through entire
gaggles on course.
