I have been thinking about this a bit more. The TB20 is, I think, designed as a long range tourer with IFR capability. It has no pretentions of aerobatic capability. As an older design it also does not gain its speed from clever aerofoil design or a particularly streamlined airframe - its more about brute strength. I would therefore have expected the designers to have built in a healthy quantity of stability both in pitch and roll. I wonder if there is any possibility the rigging is off, if yours displays so little stability in roll, or perhaps this is an unexpected quirk of the design?
