  When tabbing through my cube faces - the content will end up upside down, sideways, etc.  Is there a way force / control the orientation of each face?

  Hi Brett Gilbert,
  
  How do you change the sides of the cube? Do you use the SelectedIndex property? I have tried to come across the problem on our online example here without any success, can check whether you are able to reproduce the problem in our online demos. If not we will need some code snippet that exposes the way you use the RadCube control. Thank you for collaborating with us.

  Click to face 1, then to face 4, then back to face 1 and that face is now upside down.

  Hello Brett Gilbert,
  
  The problem comes from the different value of the YWidth. It seems that when the control doesn't have equal sides there are some miscalculation in the rotations. This is the first time we experience such problem and we will do our best to resolve this issue in future. For now you can get around the problem by simply setting equal size of all sides. In your case you must set the YWidth property to 221. Thank you for reporting this issue, your Telerik points have been updated. If you have any further assistance don't hesitate to contact us again.
  
  Sincerely yours,

  Since I am leveraging this as rectangular cube, ive noticed that items within the taller y face are stretched.
  See above code sample.
  Is there anyway around this "stretching" / any way to compensate for this stretching?

  Hi Brett Gilbert,
  
  The answer is similar to my previous post. You have to use square rectangles since there are miscalculation that result in incorrect behavior. As I mentioned before, we will do our best to include a hot fix for this as soon as possible.
