per your advice i hooked the 2nd elev servo to the gear ch and slaved the gear ch to the elev ch with a mix, works great.

Iflew it today (with 50% expo) and it was so much fun. Idid my first rolls and even a brief inverted pass, also did my first aaalmost hover for a few seconds. very high, of course. Ilove this little plane! Ithink i'm gonna like this sport aerobatics thing.

it does seem to land pretty hard though, i'm still working on that.
