CG. Mostly because I feel that planes that are right on the CG (with a few exceptions) or slightly tail heavy, doesn't track properly, doesn't lock the lines either and it becomes more evident in the snap rolls. They will hover and torque roll just fine too.

As for the up right or inverted flat spins, I have my plane setup (YAK54 40%) with 45 degrees of elevator and 45-48 degrees or rudder.
These two surfaces are pined throughout the maneuver and then there is a balance between opposite aileron and power management. It applies to both up right and inverted flat spins.

Too nose heavy airplanes don't fly properly, too tail heavy airplanes, only fly once.
