Right, apologies then...

I wonder if yourself or anyone else could explain this to me:

I think I'm overspeeding, so I'm holding the stick back, I've tried a wedge load of thrust (oddly) and also now reduced it somewhat (more sensibly)

I'm also holding the stick almost fully to one side, then the other to keep the wings level, as they have a habit of rolling around in a rather airy fairy floppy fashion

Why in an overspeed situation, would this be happening, when the norm is a spiral dive (banked one way or the other and increasing) or just laterally diverging (again banked one way) ?
