Default Is the uproar supposed to knife edge?

I've just finished building an uproar and put a 40 FP on it. I've got max throw in the rudder but it doesn't knife edge well at all. I'll kick it over on its side and give it full rudder. The nose comes up a bit, it shudders a bit, and gets all sloppy. Is this typical for the uproar?

The threads I have read regarding the Uproar and Knife edge have all stated that the rudder area needs to be enlarged to get a good Knife edge.

Do a search on the Uproar and you should get plenty of help.

I have flown both the 60 size and the Forth size for around 2 years now even with making their rudders larger they still do not knife edge
