Any S.Decathlon experts out there?

I've recently been asked to do some instructing in a S.Decathlon, but I can't get the thing to flick roll (snap roll, for our US colleagues) nicely. I'm using 80mph with 25/25 set. I've tried leading with both rudder and elevator, tried accelerating the roll early/late with elevator, and using aileron. I'm pretty sure I'm not burying the elevator too much. What's the Decathlon technique?

Also, anything else I need to know about S.Decathlons - vices or nasty surprises lurking in corners?
