Big wing span, sluggish roll control, and question about steep turns...

So my wingspan is 38ft, and my aileron control is sluggish (I seem to actually get better roll control using the rudders). This is probably me just being paranoid about only having the plane airborne for a few hours worth of flying time thus far, but I keep feeling that if I go beyond a 30 degree bank that one of the wings will get to high and roll me over (putting me in a spin).

The aircraft is a Falcon XP, and it seems to fly just fine. My big question here is; should I really be concerned about steep banks and spins? Or am I just being too paranoid and I will be fine to bank the plane up?
