I'm NOT a Vengance expert, but most a/c designed to have two up needed to be ballasted or correctly loaded not to have some odd charecteristics when flown solo. The Hawker Hind has ballast on a pole through the rear fuselage for instance, and the Bristol Fighter has a very stern instruction on the fuselage below the Scarff mounting.
