Don't know the precise measurement, but that one was about half-throw up - maybe 3/8" to 1/2" at the most. The elevator is sensitive; running about 30% expo.

If you watch the flight, this is the second flight where I am checking the CG. It's spot on - maybe a little heavy to the tail. As to the technique, watch the video. The landing gear...

The Great Planes 1/4 Scale Gee Bee is a beast to land - you can easily be too hot or too slow.
