are you running a stock 502? or???
are you reading speedo speeds or GPS?
My stock 280 with 502 (stock) sees a maximum of 65 mph and I have just a touch of side to side walk which I settle by pressing the tabs down just to the level position and it runs just smooth.
K-planes, sure they would be nice but as a rule are not required on the 280 since most of the speeds are under the 70 mph mark.

My 280 never had this happen. Step hulls will have a very slight bit of side to side. They call it tick-tock. But always felt 100% in control. No tabs were needed. You may be triming it too high?!?!? Mine ran best the the trim needle JUST above the first mark on the gauge.
